Farcaster Devs

Mini app developers

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

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🙏
