Mini Apps

I have a deep amount of respect for all the founders and builders betting big on the mini-app thesis.

We haven't quite seen it pan out in its entirety yet but its without a doubt the foundation for a new generation of crypto products and services and will inevitably lead to many apps that onboard millions of new users.

Keep fighting - your time in the sun will come.

it takes a lot of conviction in farcaster to go all-in on a miniapp. hope it works out for everyone

False dichotomy

A mini app is just a mobile-optimized web app. Should be minimal overhead. And you get a massive boost on distribution, notifications and reliability of mobile transactions.

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!

No one is saying go all in on mini apps.

They are great for top of funnel / earlier stage iteration.

The reality is most app builders have a hard time getting users. Much easier to do with mini apps to start.

I don’t see it as going all in, I see it as the fastest way to prove a thesis is worth investing more in. 

Especially a thesis that involves distributing to a social networking through incentives and novel user experiences.
