Mini Apps

The fight for the mini app dev market share is on

Reddit, TG, Wechat, Warpcast (and other Farcaster clients)

LinkedIn also experiments with LinkedIn Games. Facebook had them back in the day

Developer 🤓 build, develop and operate Farcaster solutions @ dtech.vision also love tech, decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

🌾 Guess What? I’m Back on the Farm! 🚜 🌾

Throwing it back to the days when we were all growing crops, harvesting fruits, and building the dream farm on FarmVille! 🐓

I've just planted a field of strawberries 🍓, raised a barn, and helped out a few friends by sending them some much-needed animal feed 🐄. If you’re in need of a watering can or a few extra coins, drop by my farm – I got you covered!

If you’re on #FarmVille too, let’s connect

exactly, real interesting how fb had so many playable games, I spent years playing some too on a fb clone - vk.com

but games in both kind of died real quickly, within a few years?!

product design at /basedstudio • exploring better ways to live: health, wealth, identity, states and more • bento.me/mxd

functionality between them? yes. Though the more polished the experience the more devs & users.

The questions then becomes how addressable + monetizable these users are.

What projects I worked with have loved so far is the onchain rails of Farcaster which make monetization very low friction if one is setup already

Devs will go to where the most addressable users and best monetization is.

Functionality is mostly marginal beyond a baseline.

Building FOSS via @frames, /open-frames to help decentralized social win. a16z CSX23. farcasterchannels.com farcaster.id

how's Lens + XTMP? would you count them in too or more frames only rn?

there's no walled garden on protocol data. That's what makes farcaster attractive since you don't have to deal with getting shut out of third party APIs like Reddit, TG can easily shut you off or take away data that you thought you had

so the reason to build here is sleeping at night that you're app isn't API rugged tomorrow

(note Farcaster, not warpcast, Warpcast API's are different)

If there is competition for mini apps from established players, what is Farcaster’s unique selling point for devs to build here? Bonus points if you don’t use the words “crypto”, “onchain”, or “permissionless”
