@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

I would start an open source effort to create a standard for in-wallet apps. 
As much as I love the paradigm of having independent web apps or mobile apps connect to an external wallet, I think we'll soon be hitting the limits of what can be done in terms of UX... and while that UX works, it's not user friendly enough to be mainstream.

We should start working on in-wallet apps. What if we turned the paradigm upside down: Instead of wallets connecting to the app, what if it was the app connecting to the wallet instead? 👀  

Think about like TG mini-apps or FC frames but tailored to provide an outstanding in-wallet experience with very opinionated design guidelines (cf https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines). The wallet would offer oustanding and *standardized* UX flows for all onchain actions to provide a coherent UX accross apps.

Right now, from the wallet, you have an embed web browser but I think we can all agree the UX really sucks.

Yesterday I made a case for wallet providers to start working on in-wallet apps (and in-wallet app stores).

I think this is a necessary evolution to make crypto more mainstream by overcoming the UX limits that we all currently face as an industry with the current paradigm of "Wallets need to connect to app". The current paradigm works for power users and it can stay. But we need another order of magnitude of UX improvement to make crypto mainstream.

Let's flip this upside down and start working on a "Apps need to connect to wallets" paradigm 👇
