manifesting it now. Mini Apps on X. (Cc @nikitabier) https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1939723101723574703?s=46

they pretty much dogfooded this with polymarket, community notes & grok - probably gonna happen at some point but unclear what level of extortion you will have to pay for the required api access to make one

Could just be the max one tbh

Mini apps will eat the internet | Latest drop: /clankermon | Building : /miniapps /large /fctrivia jeeves /source @degentip @playsource /jump

they have so much room to go hard. biggest threat to Farcaster IMO. they could do a lot of the playbook at a very different scale and pace.

not hard make up the margins when its $50k a month, the recent bans was likely them letting apps that required the data who were circumventing get to critical mass where they would be forced to pay it too 

don't get me wrong - I'd love to see this , but I don't see us getting a version that isn't enterprising maxxing

are they really making much money on their API? I know it's 50k but seems like a small group would pay for it. I assume their money maker is xAI/Grok on a longer timeline. Ad biz + paid consumer subs + better paid enterprise subs.

their money maker is their api & they're behaviour to a lot of the apps that would be ideal candidates for mini apps shows how much of a priority this is 

They would keep the $50k a month fee for that level of access and use it as a filter for the highest quality/impact mini apps 

it would never be open, cheap and accessible like the FC standard
