What's best practice for Share in a mini-app? I've been asked to implement an "Invite" button that allows someone to select some or all their followers and send them an invite to the mini-app. I can just have this cast an embed of the frame, I can @ mention specific users or I could try direct casts. Has anyone seen a good implementation of something like this they liked in a mini-app?

Looking for advice on implementing sharing in a mini-app I'm working on. I've been asked to implement a share feature where the user can share the mini-app with the people they follow/followers. I'm using Neynar to get followers. I know we can get the user to cast a link to the mini-app and I could also @ mention users. 1. can we also support direct casts to specific users? 2. Is this a good pattern? 3. Are there best practices for sharing I should be aware of?

Follow-up on my AI-built VS Code extension: While building with AI was efficient, it highlighted important concerns: without proper review, AI-generated code can contain bugs, security vulnerabilities, or even malicious elements if the AI is manipulated. For my simple todo extension, the stakes were low. But for production systems or apps handling sensitive data, AI should be a coding partner, not the sole creator. Best practices I'm adopting: Having AI explain its code choices Running comprehensive tests on AI output Manual review of security-critical components Scanning for known vulnerabilities Documenting AI involvement for transparency AI coding tools are revolutionary, but they demand a new kind of vigilance from developers. The responsibility for secure, reliable code ultimately remains human. What guardrails do you use with AI-assisted coding? #AIEthics #CyberSecurity #DevPractices #ResponsibleAI

Built a VS Code extension in 45 mins using only AI! While planning changes for our agent project, I needed a sidebar todo list. Instead of searching for the perfect extension, I took a detour and built one with Claude. Using the FileSystem MCP, Claude bootstrapped the extension, then I spent 30 minutes refining the layout and sidebar integration. The AI part was smooth - the human part wasn't! Publishing took another hour wrestling with Microsoft authentication and Azure DevOps. Despite no human coding or code review, the "Project To Do Extension" is now live on the VS Code marketplace!

Working on AI Agents forced me to lean into AI for coding in general, which has been a great thing. Cursor+Claude is a great combo, especially the new MCP support. One thing its really highlighted for me, though, is that AI is not ready to replace developers at any level. You need experience to guide and understand agent-produced code. The only way you get that experience is working your way up through the trenches. AI doesn't replace truly understanding how systems work. It does give you a huge productivity boost though!

Our last drop minted out 500 tokens in less than 24 hours, guaranteeing real quality users thanks to @airstack.eth and our reputation scoring system. The next step to build value on our platform is Collector Insights - using the same raw data, we will constructs demographic of collectors to help our Creators and Sponsors understand their audiences better and focus tasks and rewards - again powered by our friends at @airstack.eth .

Big shoutout to @alchemyplatform for their amazing technical support. Base L2-L1 blob costs spiked during our drop today, transactions that cost $0.01 went as high as $10.00! We ran out of funds in our gas sponsorship rapidly. Their fast response helped us get back on track and develop a solid plan for managing gas spikes in the future.

Phase 1 of our user reputation scoring system is going live on Thursday to help level the playing field for genuine collectors wanting to participate in our Collect2Earn program. Beyond this, the intelligence we can gain via @airstack.eth on our collectors will help our artists and sponsors understand the demographics of their audiences. Super valuable!

Tracking user claims for @remx Collect2Earn on chain seemed expensive so I decided to implement claims using event logs and @alchemyplatform Subgraph API to query claims in real time. So easy, and way cheaper on gas :)

Building a user reputation score with @airstack.eth is already providing useful insights and we haven't even launched it yet! Visualization by SandDance in VS Code.

Building value for stakeholders is key. @remx Collect2Earn brings sponsors, artists and collectors together and with significant value for each. 1. Collectors get rewarded with real crypto currency and create art 2. Artists get paid and grow their audience 3. Sponsors get exposure and real data about real users

Building a base of quality users can be hard when its so easy create fake accounts for farming rewards. We are turning to @airstack.eth to build a profile of user accounts from on-chain activities and social profiles so we can establish a User Reputation score to help separate the wheat from chaff!
