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

Dumb question but humor me, what exactly is an embed image?

Oh! I didn’t know you could personalize them. How does that work? Is it only after they are casted, they get some user context? 

With freecompliment.com for example, the image is a random compliment so I realize there’s a way to generate a custom image but didn’t think it could be customized per user

Is this explained in the docs?

e.g. see the image in this cast
