⭐️ New Release: Hosted Manifests

Create a fully-validated Mini App manifest in under 10 seconds - just a couple clicks from desktop, no phone needed.

We host, auto-cache-bust, and you keep the same security plus the option to fork the file back to your own server whenever you want.

Big shoutout to @deodad, @horsefacts.eth, and @gabrielayuso.eth - they built all the underlying tech that powers this 👑. I just get to take ~5% of the credit

Watch the quick demo below, then hit the wizard to create your first Hosted Manifest!

.. and we are not done yet.

Switching from desktop to phone just to sign a manifest was a pain - so now every Mini App manifest tool (hosted and self-hosted) signs right in the browser.

No QR codes, no device hop: click → signed.

Same on-chain security, zero friction, powered by Auth Addresses!

Nice, so now we don’t need to pollute our own codebase with all this high-entropy metdata.

Interesting. With Hosted Manifests, you can now ask those users to create their own manifest directly from the website and just share the link with you. That way, they own the manifest themselves, and you can stay focused on building the app without needing to assign it from your account.

can I assign mini apps / domains to other users from my account? users are building mini apps with @vibesengineering.eth, until now I could just assign them to my accounts automatically

I’ve been hoping to be able to change my mini app domain without Farcaster recognizing my it as a new app, so users don’t need to re add it

Does this allow me to change my apps domain?

nice! btw, any guide on how to leverage this in dev environment? e.g. if we use vite

hosted manifest link doesn't change whenever we update fields, right?

Not massive - Developed two, deployed one ( called pixbase, think 1million pixel website on-chain ), fiddling with third now, mostly just trying to understand the system, ecosystem integration, toolkit potential -- otherwise fiddling and building until something clicks.

I'm developing and deploying mini-apps, can you pill me on this workflow? Its fiddly at first, but easy to do once done. Interested to learn your perspective!

manifests are still read from /.well-known/farcaster.json

the difference is that for hosted manifests instead of returning a 200 with the JSON they will return a 307 and we return the 200 with the JSON after redirect

Meaning we fetch manifests to collevt category information and more

How do we know where to ping and fetch the hosted manifest for a mini app based on having only its domain?

How does one now index these ?

the embed for amps.fun recently broke, but i’m not sure why. 

is there a good way to debug this? afaik i haven’t changed anything related to the fc: og tags

there's no embed <meta> tag in your markup (which is what the debug tool is showing here). will DM.
