The volume of manifest-related issues in the ‘mini’ app dev chat is the clearest signal we’ve got: it’s not working.

Well-intended? Sure.
But rushed legacy thinking and now, it’s a blocker.

Let’s not pretend the fix is just better docs or more fields.
It’s a brittle interface.

Instead of patching it, let’s re-architect it.

Start from the protocol’s promise: permissionless, portable, composable, interoperable apps.

Imagine if:

Any client was able to load, index, & execute ‘mini’ apps like browsers do with websites

Deep link routing between apps should just work wo coordination 

Shared ephemeral state (like react context or sessionStorage) should enable app chaining in a flexible context-container 

***A registry layer*** should exist to power search, surfacing, and cross-app applications discovery. I buried the lead!

Devs want distribution yes but guess what they also have every incentive create it.

Yeah exactly tttttiming. This is one of the things I admire most about dwr & v ie the focus on what they belief the top priorities  are

I wouldn’t do it now but see how going forward an FID -> Apps mapping (need multiple, not just one) would live on Snapchain

😆 ..because the cast was so long.  

I messed up the per post og image & button text in the Croptop theme which once fixed should help.

Didn’t expect the mini app linked to be a full blog post. Didn’t see a link and note of it 😅
