What is the difference between an app and a client? read/write?

interesting, I actually think that in Farcaster we can have a softer definition for a client (in web2 the api's are closed so clients are very monolithic). Every app that let's you write to the social graph and has Faracster authentication can be considered a client, but it doesn't have to be a Farcaster sole app.

You have a prediction markets app with some FC data and write capabilities? client!

Good question

Client: wants you to spend all time in their app. Your main place to consume.

Think TikTok, Instagram Reels, Yourube Shorts, Facebook Reels, Drakula
