yes exactly, add mini app, actions automatically appear in the share menu

thanks for the feedback

re: composer actions — this proposal is unrelated to replacing composer actions though that's something else we'll want to do

re: share sheet — we could do this same thing but with the top level entrypoint the reality is it gets little usage and is confusing to new users and it's almost certainly going to stay this way even after integrating into the mini app standard

I also don't see much difference in practice between a dedicated button or share button, in both cases it's one click to open and a second click to select the app

the main difference is the dedicated can show you all your mini apps in a vertical scrolling menu whereas the share sheet will just have a horizontal row for your most used ones (with a secondary button to get to your unused ones, just like the ios share sheet)

so the delta in clicks only applies if you're trying to trigger a cast action in a mini app that is outside the top 10 best options we can show you

– share sheet is too buried imo + you’re competing with a bunch of other apps now

– one of the best part of cast actions is composer actions and it seems this doesn’t solve for that

– would still love a way for one-off cast actions to be able to just return a message that is displayed to the user once the action has been taken

Can we just keep the existing flow with the cast actions launcher but they open mini apps instead (or take one-off actions?)

I like building crypto apps and learning new things. 

vmathur.com

it does have better visibility but it:
- has very low usage
- is confusing to non-power users

moving into the share sheet would be less visible but is more suitable since in practice it's a power user and a once in while feature

sounds great in theory but on ios wouldn't the custom share actions be quite buried? I almost feel like the existing cast actions CTA on the cast has better discoverability

I would directly open the create new promotion page in the PromoLeague mini app
