Farcaster

Alright, 3 days in.

1. Building a miniapp is way faster iteration for a client.. but ya still gotta build the client. You should 100% build a miniapp first.

2. An indie backend lift is still very non-trivial and mixing these authentication frameworks is not good for Farcaster newbies.

Mini Apps

when you're a small dev team with limited resources, building a mini-app versus building a standalone web app or native app is essentially going "all-in"

I get what you're saying though and I don't disagree with you. I've tried native app first, frames 1.0 -> web app, mini app first, web app first to possible mini app after enough traction.

I'm just going to take advantage of the distribution that's out there and try everything until we get a hit. Thank you for shipping the building blocks!

Which way anon?

I'm trying to discuss in good faith, I never said building a mini-app was slower.

This is the point I disagree with. I think you can build a web app that's mini app compatible for marginal work. 

As you know, I'm all for being super focused. But I do think mini apps provide unique top of funnel for first 100-1000 users in crypto.

I agree with you. There are a couple devs that are running into some trouble in our original thread, but it should all be resolved in short-medium term and probably more about the 3rd party auth provider than farcaster.

I'll see you on the next thread
