Mini Apps

embed images are the most underutilized component of mini apps

they are the life blood of a good mini app since they provide an organic means for your app to get in front of eye balls and create natural points for community members to hang out

here's a breakdown of the mini word "brag" share card which is a good one

the most common response to the quoted cast about Mini App Embed images being a secret to viral Mini Apps was "cool but I'm not sure how to do this"

so I built an extremely easy to fork, modify, and deploy (1-click) project that you can use to create dynamic image card for you mini app

the readme has everything you need to know to get started—give it a shot and give me your feedback

Having just finished adding dynamic share images to my farcaster lore app can say that the hardest part wasn’t generating images but refactoring my next.js project to put meta data at the page level and then having to make server pages that pull in the client code. But as far as  dynamic images being key to viral apps- holy cow yes! The dynamic, personalized images are so cool. Took me 2 days to get it working but worth it!

Thank you! It’s been fun. When I’m back from all my fall travels I want to rebuild all the gmfarcaster stuff and combine it all into a single app, and polish up the UI and design of it all. 

Hope you had a good vacay, welcome back!

it’s been awesome watching this app come together

the embeds and screens they open is so cool— incredible job!
