Farcaster Devs

Mini app developers

What’s something that’s confusing or unclear in the docs?

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

just redeployed my frontend at www.farfriends.me to use this content in the fc:frame meta tag:
`'{"version":"next","imageUrl":"https://www.farfriends.me/splash.png","button":{"title":"See My Top 8","action":{"type":"launch_frame"}}}'`

when I look at the docs here: https://miniapps.farcaster.xyz/docs/guides/sharing#buttonactionname-optional it says name is optional and will default to the farcaster.json (which does have a name, attached screenshot)

but in the validator for embed previews it says embed invalid because it's missing the name field, but it seemed like it should work to me. Just ended up being some duplication that I would've liked to avoid but didn't know how to
