Mini Apps

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

it would be interesting if you created a miniapp and went through the process of adding embed images like the one you shared. and actually told us what you learned and how you did it

i have been building frames and miniapps since they started and this is still something that feels out of my reach. that's why i don't do it more

this is a great idea but I bet someone could do it better (and faster) than I could

in general would love to see more content on making mini apps—think it's an underserved niched (@jc4p has been pulling weight here)

is this useful? it's the commit going from not having this feature in a mini app to having this feature, https://github.com/jc4p/what-x-are-you-template/commit/f2a8573e1f855c1e1544238e6aa7f7a237375e9b --- it's Nextjs AND Cloudflare bc i hate seeing a white loading screen waiting for the embed to generate on the fly

do you think i can figure out from that repo how to do it on a nodejs server? i don't like using nextjs and that's part of what makes this difficult (most of the examples are for next, which has server side rendering for routes)

@jpfraneto.eth ^ this commit has updating a nextjs app for:

1. adding dependencies and setting up basic custom share image generation (just puts their PFP and result in a rectangle)
2. coordinating a generate share link -> generate image -> generate url flow
3. updating the app so when it gets ?image=blah-1234.png it sends that as the imageUrl in the fc:frame
