Every single miniapp prompting to "Add to Warpcast" before even using it is really really annoying.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

it's better than subscribe w payment for a 7 day free trial before using!

not sure that every website i visit asking me to "install it" would be better

my first mini app i put it all the way at the end *bc principles* but w the new atlas app it's right upfront bc it's just so much easier to get it out of the way

if ppl don't like the notifs they can opt out

my hot take is that this shouldn't even be a thing, it should be clear in the warpcast ux how to save a miniapp, and apps can do the youtube "don't forget to like and subscribe" if they really want to beg for it

"people need to know what apps want them to do" for sure

i have no expectation of app devs to not do it, of course you gotta do it if you can do it and everyone else is doing it.

that's why i'd consider getting rid of the .addFrame() api altogether and let the client handle it instead.

i turn off notifs for almost everything besides my calendar, so i get it, but building an app for consumers, you got to do it

people need to know what apps want them to do !!
