Farcaster

What are you most frustrated about re: Farcaster?

If you could change one thing—what would it be and how would you do it?

no clear path for developers to go through all of the legos. They are all different standards of technologies across the stack to build full no farcaster native apps that use all of them (cast action, composer action, frames v2 are all different technologies with next to no unification)

I look forward to it being unified so devs grok FC fast and we get way better apps way faster

less friction to build -> more builds -> better apps -> more to do

Farcaster Development Boutique @ https://dTech.vision 💜 in love with tech 🤓decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

clear path is

Composer action:
Frame v2 opened on selection where framesdk.context is used to pass info we currently have in post request for customization

Cast action:
press on context menu brings up frame v2 with framesdk.context 
-> user can take action or be shown the info that now is a popup message or framev1

what you're doing with that is taking everything to be one standard

use framesdk.context to see where it's called from and render based on it. With the same code / tech otherwise for the app

that way all these are the same to code and interopable easily without spining up " 3 totally different endpoints" and having to learn it all

Good ecosystem with unification across their respective toolings:
- Minecraft Mods
- TG Bots + Mini apps (docs are shit but concepts simple)
- Astro JS Framework
- Bun
- Effect-ts library

What does a clear path look like to you?

Do you have other developer platforms / protocols that do a good job of this?
