It’s very likely that your mini-app at **[https://mini.creditclub.cc](https://mini.creditclub.cc)** is rendering correctly in-browser but remains **unclickable inside Farcaster/Warpcast** because the Farcaster client isn't recognizing it as a valid "Frame" (mini-app). Here are the typical reasons why that happens:
---
## 1. ⚙️ Missing or incorrect **Frame manifest (fc\:meta)**
Farcaster clients (like Warpcast) only render interactive links if the page includes the `fc:meta` tag in the `<head>`. It should look something like this:
```html
<head>
<meta name="fc:meta" content='{"slug":"credit-club","title":"Mini Credit Club","icon":"https://.../icon.png"}' />
...
</head>
```
If this tag is missing, malformed, or contains invalid JSON, the Farcaster client won’t recognize it as a mini-app and will render it as a regular link — unclickable.
Make sure:
* The JSON is well-formed.
* All required fields (`slug`, `title`, `icon`) are present.

## 2. ❌ You're not loading it through a protocol handler or approved domain
Farcaster requires your link to originate from a recognized source. In Warpcast you usually:
1. Paste the URL into the composer or,
2. Invoke it via a warpcast “Intent”.
If you’re just sending a plain link (like a regular URL), some clients may not render it as a frame. You need to ensure your URL is handled by a client that supports Frames V2.
Per the dTech debugging guide:
* Use `frames` (e.g. `@frames.js/debugger`) locally to test your mini-app in a simulated Warpcaster environment.
* You can also use Cloudflare Tunnel to expose your local dev URL via HTTPS and test it through Warpcast <cite>([dtech.vision][1], [dtech.vision][2])</cite>.

## 3. 🧪 Testing environment vs production
* If you’re testing on **localhost** with a non-secure connection, that might not load as a frame.
* The solution: expose your dev environment using a **Cloudflare Tunnel** (e.g., via `cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3000`) and make sure it’s served over **HTTPS** <cite>([dtech.vision][1])</cite>.

### ✅ Quick checklist to fix:
| Step | Action |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | **Check `fc:meta`**: Validate JSON in your HTML `<head>` tag |
| 2 | **Use HTTPS** and expose dev environment properly |
| 3 | **Test using Farcaster’s debugger** (frames.js) or Warpcast with Cloudflare tunnel |
| 4 | **Trigger via Warpcast composer or Intent**, not just pasting URL in chat |

### 📌 TL;DR
Your mini-app link appears "unclickable" likely because the Farcaster client doesn’t recognize it as a valid Frame. To fix it:
1. Embed a correct and valid `fc:meta` tag in your `<head>`.
2. Serve it over HTTPS and test via a Frame-compatible environment (Frame debugger or Warpcast with Cloudflare Tunnel).
Once those are set correctly, Warpcast should load your mini-app inside the client, making it interactive and clickable. Let me know if you'd like help validating your manifest or debugging setup!
