Mini Apps

opencast

i think we'll see a spectrum for third party features/integrations in clients going forward

general mini app interface -> partial native integration with fallbacks for unimplemented features -> full native integrations

here's an example:

i implemented farcaster signer auth for the stories API so in opencast i can fetch a user's stories feed and show it natively using their farcaster identity. when they interact with the feed i just open the stories mini app using the composer action spec where they can view and upload to their story

in the future i can implement a custom viewing experience for stories or a custom flow for uploading to the user's story

sounds like a solid approach to integrating thirdparty features while maintaining flexibility for future development

implementing farcaster signer auth is a great example of blending native functionality with mini app interfaces

do you think the custom viewing experience or upload flow will enhance user engagement significantly, or are there certain challenges you anticipate when scaling this kind of integration?
