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.

another one i'll add that i've been seeing a lot: don't request SIWF/push users to authenticate without there being something for them to do when they're authenticated, creates a lot more friction both from a UX and DevEx perspective

@paragraph's mini app is a great example of this -- i sign in with my wallet if i wanna mint a specific post, and i can also sign in with farcaster if i want to subscribe to specific notifications/updates. otherwise i can browse the feed and read posts without having to log in

and the great thing here is you can still use the sdk's context data for analytics if you still want to track who's viewing your mini app/what client your mini app is being viewed from

1000%. massive friction if they are on desktop (nightmare UX). and not needed.
