metadata. last time checked a bunch of metadata fields were added. manifesto once you know how to get it its simple. a nightmare for newbies.

last I checked, the quick start guide was not accurate, the terminal messages incorrect, and the tutorial repo non-functional, and with color scheme that made text impossible to read. I posted about it: https://farcaster.xyz/brittkim.eth/0x29ef15ed i’ll try to create one again when I get time.

The docs saying that some fields in the frame json fc:frame metadata are optional and fallback to manifest but validating as incorrect in the embed preview debugger and saying they're required. I think (keyword) that it doesn't matter for in feed previews but it will say there is no preview in the developer screen

most of the times i only go to the docs to find through them this link so that then i can send it as context to the ai so maybe why isn't this button surfaced with more clarity on the bar on the left. click and it gets copied on the clipboard. and have this be the source of truth that we always know it is always updated imo

Would like to see some guide on converting an existing web app into a mini app. And also Specifying how you can resolve dynamic pages routes as mini apps For example: yourwebsite.com can resolve the mini app here on farcaster quite alright, but when you try yourwebsite.com/products/1 wouldn’t if you don’t make some configurations. I spent couple of days trying to figure this out when I was working on /poidh - and all that was needed was to generate metadata for each dynamic page/route Maybe this could help builders who are Just joining the game Cc @kenny 🫡

It’s the release process & that manifest. That cursed manifest could use a rethinking. Non stop incremental whiplash in the name of speed is fine for the net new app but this burns time for those maintaining apps. Migration docs would also be helpful. Devs that were early adopters have a unique set of challenges keeping up. It’s a bit weird to see neynar having a page in Farcaster docs. Might consider killing that’s now before you’re accused of gatekeeping & favoritism. Docs on how & when to use an appKey/signer w a snapchain for reading/writing night slot nicely into miniapp docs. Seems more important than shouting out one closed source, commercial solution as handy as it might be. There are now open nodes & open source tooling for accessing nodes that aren’t mentioned. I wasted several hours trying to get a new feature to work that was in the docs but not in the latest npm package yet. That kinda sucked. First I felt stupid then I felt tricked For the most part the docs are quite good🙏

I don't know if it counts, but for those of us running nodes, imo the docs are lacking examples of how to use streaming endpoints and what the models are.

That I can't easily incorporate social graphs in my app without using a paid service, even if I run my own node.

Interacting with the wallet section could be improved with examples. Many new mini app developers seem to struggle with understanding it.

For accounts that were not registered through Warpcast, how can they successfully complete the Mini App login process? Is it necessary to obtain the user's mnemonic for this?

Not docs related but I would love if notifications were hidden when in the developer tab. The notifs create a constant 10% extra mental effort needed to focus

Search doesn’t work very well. eg compose doesn’t find the action. also deprecated information. I’m using a starter repo with aspect-ratio in it, been really tricky to find out what’s happened to it, and what to do instead

I’m still confused about using a signer directly through Farcaster. The hub being used either doesn’t work or can only be used for viewing.

It doesn't say anywhere you have to register the manifest on mobile. I wasted an hour trying to figure out how to generate the "accountConfiguration" on desktop only for keccers to inform me it had to be done on mobile
