✨ New on Warpcast: Mini-app experiment

We're exploring launching mini-apps from frames and deep links. Thanks to @paragraph and @matthewfox for working with us on the first prototypes. More coming soon.

Try out Paragraph and Flappycaster in the frames below 👇

Under the hood, these are deep links to composer actions. If you're interested in building your own, see the developer docs here:

A mini app view is a full HTML/CSS/JS webpage, so it's both easier and harder in some ways. Easier because you can use a full interactive canvas and any web framework you want, harder because there's more to set up than a simple image.

From a technical standpoint, will it be possible to easily convert any frame into a mini app? 

Or is there much more that goes into it?

Yes, same model as composer actions, it all starts with a signed Frame message.

Do you inject an auth token or something similar into the iframe? i.e can I auto-log in someone?

Mini-apps are composer actions + deep links, so see the docs here for now. 

I know this is confusing, will write up a "mini app" specific version of these docs.

They can bury me deep, but I always grow back.

is there developer documentation for miniapps yet?

Yes, when they launch they get a signed message with the user's identity, same as a frame. So it can log you in or be aware of your Farcaster ID.

They can also pass messages back to the client app. Right now the only command is "create cast," but I can imagine adding others like "request transaction," "send DM," etc.

Do mini apps have any access to the users FC data/ability to do any on-protocol actions based on actions/results of what happens in the mini-app?

WebSockets should work fine, subject to same origin in iframes on web.

Are there any restrictions on in-mini-app browser functionality? Mostly interested in WebSocket support.

Finally opening mini-apps from the Frame is much more convenient and smooth. the stage is set, and now it’s up to the builders to showcase their talents.

the Paragraph flow is beautiful, really nice

Moxiesplaining Journal Day 21: Publishing In-Frame with Paragraph + Moxie

Ever since Moxie launched, there have been higher economic incentives for casting than for writing long-form essays.

Not ideal for long-form writers like me.

For Moxiesplaining Journal, I do both: cast, earn Moxie, and then collect the week’s casts into a Paragraph post.

But this week I learned two exciting things:

1) @paragraph has a new feature that makes entire articles (formatting and all) readable in-feed as “mini-apps.”

2) There’s a Moxie frame wrapper that makes any URL Moxie-eligible by wrapping it with your Airstack API key. (/hypersub subscription required. See /wctools for info). 

So I thought: could writers combine these things to earn Moxie for long-form work + reward readers for reading it in-frame?

I have some big releases coming up soon. 

It may be time to experiment.

(Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).

Fantastic. I'm excited to experiment with this via my @paragraph publications!
