Leverage the social context! You’re building inside a social network - don’t waste that context. - Pull in usernames, avatars, and bios from their FC profiles. - Show activity feeds: “your friends just did X.” - Add leaderboards, badges, and stats - competition fuels engagement.

Create Sharable Moments! Make it effortless and fun for users to cast what’s happening. - Add a “Share to Warpcast” button at key moments. - Embed the mini-app URL in the cast. Example: - Mint an NFT → Share it in the feed - Play Game → Share score

Design for Feed Virality! Your mini-app should look good in the feed - that’s where new users will discover it. - Make the preview image eye-catching and legible in small format. - Include social proof directly in the preview (e.g., avatars of active users, usage stats). Example: Farville

Reward people! People love to flex. People love dopamine. - Highlight who did what inside the app (recent activity, “top player,” etc). - Let people earn or collect things while using it, a badge, an early access.

Keep the Loop Tight! - Interact → get feedback → share → bring others in → repeat. - If someone uses your app and no one else knows, you failed.

Use Notifications to Bring People Back - Farcaster lets you reach users where they already hang out: their Warpcast notification inbox. - Leverage this natively social push channel to re-engage and spark action. - Be mindful not to spam.

Plan the Launch Like a Pro! The launch phase can make or break virality. - Consider launching with a challenge or leaderboard to fuel early engagement. - Add a referral or pre-save system before going live - it helps build early momentum and gives you a solid user base to notify when you launch. Example: Farville
