Mini Apps

A few tips for mini app devs:

1. Simplify screens
2. Bigger buttons / touch targets
3. Remove unnecessary crypto complexity (or hide it in an advanced view)

I'm using the excellent @crowdfund mini app as an example below.

1. Consider moving anything optional to after you complete the primary action, so in this case the comment would come after the donation

2. Make the primary action -- adding an amount -- big, front and center

3. USDC + logo, the wallet selected are not useful for 95% of people

4. The available balance is useful, so consider making that a clear secondary piece of info

5. Make the primary button big and easy to tap on a mobile device.

Fund good ideas. No-fee USDC crowdfunds in a beautiful Mini App and on the web. Made with love to support Farcasters and Farcaster Public Goods. By @seedclub.

I shared this feedback with the Crowfund team unsolicited. To be clear I think their mini app is already excellent. In my opinion, this would make it better by simplifying it and making it more accessible to less cryptonative audience.

Yes pls. We need more of this for better UI/UX in mini apps. Anyone building one that wants to reach out for similar annotation feel free to hit me up or ask other visual designers around here. We won’t crap on you, we want your apps to convert, it’s what we do!
