Farcaster Devs

Feels like there should be a more automatic / platform-agnostic way to signify mini-app “readiness”, like a simple namespaced JavaScript event?

(Maybe just adopt EIP-6963 since it’s resistant to race conditions and it’s  EIP-1193 provider objects all the way down anyway?)

What’s the cost of importing and initializing `@farcaster/frame-sdk` on every page load if someone were to use my web app outside of a mini-app context? Is there an alternative flow that doesn’t rely on this dependency?

If the user isn't in a Farcaster client, the SDK does nothing – it's lightweight (~3kb) and only activates when frames are detected. For non-frame use cases, you can skip it entirely and handle basic redirects/API calls with standard fetch() or your existing backend logic. No hard dependency needed.
