New Mini Game  - Flappycaster ✨ 

A Farcaster native take on an internet classic. 

Play anytime via the composer action or mint your own bird to rock while playing 🕹️

This is your weekly call to rename Composer Actions to Mini Apps (and just accept that mini apps will be able to edit casts in the composer)

Cast Actions & Composer Actions are too similar in naming and users think of the composer as cast.

That means no one knows what they are talking about.

Simple naming. Mini App for everything that renders iFrames. 

Cast Action for the thing you press as context menu on a cast

Frame for everything adhering to the FC:Frames spec opengraph extension

Thanks

I agree even as a developer it took the longest ass time to memorize Composer Action 🤦‍♂️
It just doesn’t sit well

Composer Action = Mini App

Deep Links = Open a Mini App just via link e.g. from a frame or by opening a link someone sent you or from any webpage etc, just a link and that opens a mini app

Cast Action = button to press on a cast, that can bring up a frame or show a little text pop up

how do they relate to deep links?
how are they different to cast actions?
