Introducing Farcaster Articles!
The Basics
- Title and cover image. They show on the feed card and in share previews.
- A public page. Every article opens on web and mobile without an account, so the link works anywhere you share it.
- In the feed and on your profile. An article shows as a card; tap to read the rest. Replies, recasts and likes work like any cast.
- On the protocol. Behind the scenes, an article is a chain of casts, so other clients without article support show it as a series of threaded casts.

How to write an Article
- Open Articles from the left sidebar (on web)
- Add a title and a cover image
- Write, format, and embed casts and images
- Preview it as a reader will see it
- Publish to the feed and your profile
Writing is limited to web for now; reading works everywhere (including outside of Farcaster!) Drafts save as you type.
