A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

what are your top problems when building mini apps? e.g.
- frontend components are hard to build
- transactions are hard to create
- etc. 

looking for ways to make mini app development simpler

If you want an app that works as a mini app and as a website that can also handle transactions with something like Privy, it's a mess to manage both inside of one (or at least I struggled with it). Ended up making two apps for Sidequest. would prefer there be only one. mini.sidequest.build

building farcaster infra @ /neynar 🪐 | casting @ /rish

dev. 
all my frames: @infobot, working on @degensub,
open for opportunities

yes (in theory). I attempted this but it quickly became a mess so I split the apps. would love for someone who knows the quirks of this all to take a better swing.

would using conditional work for transactions? like if context use the mini app connector else use the browser one

main issue was just elegantly switching providers/context. there are actually like 4 states that have different considerations for wallet and auth. open web. open web mobile. open web farcaster. iOS farcaster. If I had a sample repo with privy and farcaster working well that probably would have been enough to solve.

interesting. what are the top issues you ran into?

Would love to learn from your experience!!! DMing u
