At Farcon Rome last May, Rish (CEO of Farcaster steward Neynar) talked about composable social. On Farcaster, like on other platforms such as Telegram, mini apps are a thing. These are apps that run in the client you use for your social networking. There are games, shows, coin launchers, wallet cleaners, long-read apps, art creation apps, middleware apps and the list goes on. Additionally, Farcaster launched snaps: interactive posts. Short-lived single-purpose applications. From polls to tip jars to collaborative poetry creation tools to a full-blown minesweeper variant that can be played in the feed. Sure, there is a risk management element to this. And of course that needs to be taken seriously. But still, composable social is something that has a future. Especially with AI enabling all of us to create something fun or useful in a few minutes. So why is this functionality missing from Bluesky and Mastodon at the moment? Or am I missing something? arkeshare
