What's one thing you wish was improved about mini apps? Assume we're solving - Better dev tools - Wallet on web / no "Open Warpcast on your phone"

really minor: being able to detect if we're in a mini app or not (right now it's "await the context and wait for it to timeout" which makes sites that work in app / on their own difficult) bigger: easier ways to incorporate FC onchain data other than relying on Neynar (which i love! but still) biggest: as simple as possible auth, right now tons of people run into issues like "How do I verify Sign In With Farcaster?"

1. Additional wallet app support (Zerion, namely). 2. Finer control over in-feed display 3. Actions on minimized version 4. Improved detection for in-frame or not. 5. Drop the "mini" it's cleaner. ;) jk jk Also a specific "better dev tools" request: don't cache json lookups from dev tooling. always fetch the latest.

1. what seems like a crutch for me now is no way of easily swap "anything into token x", ideally this should bring uniswap in a mini app (like uniframe by @horsefacts.eth but that is mistakenly blocked in most browsers as fraudulent) and then go back to my mini app 2. another thing that's a huge one is logging-in people to my backend from injected sdk, privy does it well but i'd like to do this manually in my side projects 3. sybil protection is now mostly handled by neynar user score, but i wonder if getting access to verifications and spam label could be a quick addition

this is probably such low priority, but: 1. ability to drag the minimized miniapp up a bit to take up half the screen 2. ability to trigger one from a cast itself without the cast containing the link. like cast actions 3. when minimized, ability to show some kinda live status bar/custom animated components: - streaming text - updates on checkpoints, if some workflow is going on - audio bar

the three problems i experience with mini apps on the web are 1. many mini apps do not work on the web (i know y’all are working on it) 2. i don’t want to use a mini app in a phone shaped iframe on my desktop browser. 3. new user sign up on the web is too frictionful to replace connect wallet altogether even for new sites that are ok targeting farcaster wallets only

I like the "built-in" profile cards. This kinda thing saves devs time, and provides consistency for users. More of these could be useful, such as cast cards, channel cards, mini-composer card, in-app notification card (or toast).

I learned today the the Warpcast wallet provider doesn't support read calls, which lead to some conflicts with ethersJS. Having the provider act similar to MM, Rainbow, etc would ease the dev experience, rather than needing to workaround specific limitations with the Warplet provider. Easier to create code that works both within and without a mini-app.

Off the top of our head: - Support signer approval in-mini app context via SDK - Wallet: show when a tx will fail, and why - Support deep linking into mini apps from notifications or frame embeds. Honestly the whole deeplink URL schema is so confusing and not very well documented. - Better support for some sort of cast level action. Even being able to glue together cast actions + mini-apps would be a good start. cc/ @loudman.eth

I'd love more emphasis on longevity (so many older frames are dead now, many were dead just weeks after launching), which means reducing hosting burden as much as possible. Already huge improvement from v1 (where everything required a dynamic backend that also generated images), but more emphasis on static-friendly miniapps will go a long way. This is a good start: https://warpcast.com/deodad/0x0d5b9fd0 High level: Any opportunity you see to empower static/immutable miniapps, err on the side of doing it! I'll try to find more specific suggestions to surface like this one.

I think 2 things are necessary: 1. The “back” button for more convenience while using mini apps and other frames or things at same times. 2. Some more tips for each mini app to hint us how to exactly use them

work in progress, but just to underline: main breaking point is no wallet on web nice to have: - trigger swaps from a mini app to warplet and then re-open the miniapp (might be possible with deep links and no need to re-invent wallet mobile sdk) - deep linking into mini apps from notifications and from feed: confusing overall - guidelines or examples for in-feed frame preview images: which ones work well or are best to learn from

* Tips to make sure we’ll be compatible with Coinbase Wallet / others as they support FC: wallet connecting, notifications, miniapp minimization, saved apps * Opengraph image gripes - 1) Sometimes I just want to share the link, not render the opengraph image. Should be able to x-out or something like Discord. 2) When the open graph component is rendered, it’s generally a boring title card. Would be cool if it rendered a screenshot of the app so we could have the users current state / hooks to get them to open. We could generate dynamic images for each user ofc but wondering if this could be solved at the client level displaying the state of the underlying app? * Dev tools to easily deploy FC miniapps to TG and World and others. These might exist but after bootstrapping on FC, apps want to cross-deploy. Maybe a bounty to build an abstraction library for mini-apps.

Feature wise seems pretty good for at least 1-2 months. Some minor features that might be valuable: - Directory for mini apps that other people sugested ( meaning the mini app page is expanded to include: 1 list more apps than 100 2 search apps 3 maybe have categories ) - user setting to mute all mini app sounds, iframe supports the mute option so this is easy to implement globaly or per app

Better rails for discovery and context. Right now you land on a grid of logos so not super helpful. Feels like there’s a layer missing. Something closer to an app store UX with prompts, categories, or flows (Base does this well) would make mini apps way more usable?

- A better way to browse for apps and maybe a social layer ("x has y app installed") - A better way to see an explanation/demo video of what an app does before opening (say if it is posted/embedded in-line, hover mouse to see an explanation)

Do tokens go up on any? That would be a good feature.
