Farcaster

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.

I work at the posts office

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

3. Auth addresses are great, quickAuth is great, good job @horsefacts.eth and @deodad.

4. I think my biggest issue with the SDK is the lack of tests. Worried about developer lock-in via canonical requests (but wouldn't change the current approach)

Biggest issue is that EOA addresses still matter for proving identity and recovering or recreating a signer key. But this is outside I think what most folks will offer.

I am also not using the "batteries included" miniapp npx with Neynar for context!

are there things you would like us to solve on the backend for #2? what are the top problems?

Yeah this speed run is kinda wild.

A lot of alpha to share when we release.

excited to see the mini app you’re working on and also curious to hear any other insights that come out of the development process(re: mini app devex)

fast to build

but you still gotta show up and talk.

Consider androids & low quality devices as well. Ty
