Mini Apps

I've noticed that "Farcaster native" apps are very good at using mini app notifications, while apps with a larger surface outside of Farcaster are less likely to use them. (Often they have their own in app notifications). Feed embeds are the primary way they "bring the app" into the Farcaster feed.

Notifications add some more work on top of wrapping your site in a mini app, but the current runs in the other direction: they bring users from Farcaster back into your app. They've definitely reactivated me in a few cases. "Pull me back in" when there's an interesting hook.

Especially if you already have in-app notif infra, consider taking the time to send Farcaster notifications too. Especially if they are enhanced by the social graph, e.g. "person you follow posted for the first time in a while," "10 of your friends did thing."
