Why did you rename frames to mini apps? Why not just apps?
1. Apple does not like apps in their app store calling other things apps.
2. It's confusing for consumers -- an app is something I download from the app store and is on my home screen. It doesn't live in another app.
3. New developers were confused by "frames", especially since v1 -> v2 frames were so different. This was a consistent piece of feedback. So, similar to Warpcast -> Farcaster simplification for consumers, we chose to frames -> mini apps (the thing that's comparable to Telegram, World, WeChat, etc.)
4. Again, there's a cadre of folks on Farcaster who are obsessed with names. Single syllables, "catchy" names. They don't matter. Google, Airbnb, ChatGPT were all phenomenally successful despite bad names (they sound fine now because you're familiar with them). * See note in next cast
5. Future: I suspect we will see companies that have an 1) app and 2) mini app. Use mini app to onboard and build habit and then upsell to the next app. 35 replies
