Farcaster Mini-Apps brainstorm open thread

I think the way that telegram opens mini apps on a bottom sheet modal instead of a full screen makes them feel more native and less like a completely separate app

This version of mini apps is kinda dated

They are mostly full screen immersive experiences now

But this kind of optionality is good too

Imo a bottom sheet modal is a necessary step before launching into a full screen app

I suspect a user is much more likely to interact with something that isn’t going to completely take control of their current context

as a intermediatory step with comms for sure

oh I see what you mean ow

I think it makes sense as an opportunity to communicate what is about to happen 

Think this would be super annoying with all the different screen sizes etc - would likely just end up with funky UI/UX issues

So definitely would want as much space as composer actions currently get which  same as most telegram miniapps 

But being able to toggle out into warpcast and back into an open mini app/apps would be nice
