Damn! Those frames from @xCollectorFlex are so dope! 🔥
And the best part? They’re “just” frames — yet people genuinely love them.
@roham@NBATopShot maybe we don’t need anything groundbreaking. Maybe we just need a few simple, fun ideas to get things moving again? 👀
Early morning storm upsetting the dog leads to a pre-dawn release with some big updates to Frames:
1. You can now save your frames in a gallery
2. You can tweak the font size
3. Made some adjustments to hopefully improve reliability of preview images when you post links on X and other platforms
4. Special serials now are badged automatically
5. Removed the initial playback controls if you choose a video option.
Enjoy! It's great seeing all the amazing creations 🔥
your @NBATopShot team has been cooking since the NBA Finals
we'd love your feedback on upcoming upgrades starting with collection organization and marketplace before we roll out to everyone

@CardAficionado Been here since before Dapper co-invented NFTs. I've seen the ups and downs, and I'm still confident given a long enough time horizon, Top Shot will age better than all of the other "me too" digital collectibles out there that fall short on permanence.

I’m on my phone and don’t have a ton of time but figured I’d take a shot at addressing why I think we are indeed worth supporting…
The value we bring to the dapper ecosystem is offering tools / features that dapper cannot or prefers not to offer. Loans, sub $1 sales (not a technical challenge but certainly an aesthetic one), rentals, AD offers, bulk listing, etc. Importantly, Flowty is also the answer to the questions ‘what happens to my collectibles if dapper goes under? If I’m reliant on Dapper to persist for my collectibles to survive (for all intents and purposes), what do I actually own?’ as the only reasonable place to view / buy / sell Flow NFTs in the absence of dapper.
From Flow’s perspective, Flowty is important in that we offer essential services to nft collections that want to focus on content / community. Without flowty, any prospective nft creator must now also be committed to building out a full featured marketplace and, to the extent interested, loan / rental platform. In other words, the absence of Flowty makes Flow far less appealing to builders. All existing nft collections that don’t have a marketplace are left with nowhere to buy / sell. If Flow is ready to write off those collections and communities or build out their own solution, they can of course do so. But there is already a solution available.
Additionally, I believe Flowty as a permissionless, trustless, and decentralized platform is an important option to have for collectors with a crypto ethos who prefer not to rely on a centralized marketplace solution and to use non-custodial wallet options.
Finally, we are fully built to support non-dapper wallet transactions. Dapper balance + dapper wallet are both incredible innovations with regard to ease of onboarding but are extremely limiting in terms of ensuring a flow of liquidity among 3rd party platforms. For an ecosystem rolling out defi initiatives, there are clear benefits to fewer guardrails and steps to moving liquidity around the ecosystem and from nft-centered platforms to defi platforms. There are also minimal use cases for the native FLOW token outside of Flowty loans and Flowty’s non dapper wallet marketplace.
Hopefully this all makes sense. Shooting from the hip and most definitely leaving some things out. You may read this and conclude Flowty is still not worth it but hopefully it at least provides an alternative perspective
As someone who has used Flowty to finish off numerous sets, as well as sell/buy higher end moments to reduce fees, I would hate to see Flowty go. @NBATopShot needs to find a way to keep the partnership going. Even if it means increasing fees from 2.5% to ~3% and sharing revenue.
I've been using @flowty_io a lot this month picking up common moments for less than $1 for @NBATopShot Road to the Ring.
Would be great to see the topshot team supporting flowty, especially if running gamification that relies on their services.
