i would need to have a really strong justification for including the word "mini" in addition to "app" in the newly dubbed "mini apps"

such a justification may well exist, though i'm not sure what it is

needs to be enough to justify what in my mind are the negative impacts of doubling the number of words and characters in the term (apps → mini apps) and introducing imperfect consensus around spelling variations (mini apps, mini-apps, miniapps)

ah yea that would qualify as a really strong justification of punitive action from apple is a legitimate threat

main one is app store rules from my understanding. don't want to tilt apple by implying there's an app store inside the app, which is not allowed

i agree but they are literally mini. apps within apps

They are fapps. They've always been fapps. They will always be fapps.
