A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

what are your top problems when building mini apps? e.g.
- frontend components are hard to build
- transactions are hard to create
- etc. 

looking for ways to make mini app development simpler

I’ll speak to my mini app dev process

1) build app/website using v0
2) npx shadcn into Cursor directory
3) wrap it into a mini app via pasting LLM friendly text w. prompts such as
  a) authenticate user into mini app
  b) add mini app manifest
  c) correct mini app meta tags

Focus on “mini appifying” tools.

which LLM are you using? 

when you say things like "add mini app manifest", an off the shelf LLM knows what you're referring to or do you have to give additional context?

Fyi I can also be doing it wrong, just speaking to my limited experience trying to give llm context 

If others have a better process would love to know.

I paste Farcaster’s llm full text file.

I tried Neynar’s full file and it’s too long. The shorter version that points to different resources doesn’t get read well by Claude in my exp so far.

To summarize:

1) add mini app manifest, use official mini app Farcaster docs below to guide you
2) paste llm full text
