Warpcast

✨ 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:

What needs to happen for the purple button to show?

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.

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?

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?

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.

oh my....@gotoalberto here we go 

@horsefacts.eth how will this impact a /frames-devs ? It always felt like /frames where baby apps. This unlock the stuff 

like webapp to ajax..literally 🤣

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?

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.

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!

Wowow, paragraph mini app looks neat  and it works amazing 💜

Super convinient! No more switching tabs, and scrolling makes it so much easier to read. It’s awesome! Have been using notion, but will try it! Thank you so much legend!😁🙌 🙌 🙌

Yoink!

This isn’t fixing /yoink but it’s a good second best thing to have worked on I guess

Great work! https://media.tenor.com/ESTkzQQMcTEAAAAC/star-wars.gif
