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

we're already seeing this with supercast having moxie and degen claims natively integrated. that could easily be a sponsored mini app of the week or so

yeah frames are a good vehicle for this too - just a lot less versatile than mini apps
