Alright, 3 days in.

1. Building a miniapp is way faster iteration for a client.. but ya still gotta build the client. You should 100% build a miniapp first.

2. An indie backend lift is still very non-trivial and mixing these authentication frameworks is not good for Farcaster newbies.

Mini Apps

when you're a small dev team with limited resources, building a mini-app versus building a standalone web app or native app is essentially going "all-in"

I get what you're saying though and I don't disagree with you. I've tried native app first, frames 1.0 -> web app, mini app first, web app first to possible mini app after enough traction.

I'm just going to take advantage of the distribution that's out there and try everything until we get a hit. Thank you for shipping the building blocks!

Which way anon?

@peter and i built on frame (@perl), cast actions, and also mini app with @alfaca 

i don’t think it is one size fits all depending on each app’s gtm. for alfaca mini app our biggest set back was that non-fc users could not really play with the game coin feature attached to each coin for @alfaca and unrealistic for traders to join fc and then try mini app - wish the web versions were more modular for non users too.

we design/build around the initial gtm so coin launchpad this time,

for @revealcam we chose to do web first because of the learnings.

we’ve utilized nearly every fc initiative building since 2022 and remain bullish of what is to come.

even gave 15m head start to farcaster community with the first coin launch/announcement
