Mini Apps

one confusion I see a lot of mini app devs have is thinking the trending list is important to user growth

relatively few people open mini apps from this list

even the apps in the top 10 are driving 98+ % of their daily users from notifications or in-feed shares

instead of worrying about this focus on 1) sending high quality notifications to your existing users to get them to come back and 2) creating interesting opportunities for them to share embeds in feeds or DCs—that's the loop

the trending list is a thermometer not a thermostat!

+1 to notifications being a big growth driver for mini apps

Projects like @qrcoindotfun have been using it to great benefit. As @jake puts it - 

"It would be reasonable to assume that the majority of these people would not have picked this up as a daily ritual if not for our ability to send daily notification". 

Wrote more about this here: https://neynar.com/blog/qr-new-model-for-driving-digital-attention 🧵

At Neynar, we are focused on making this as simple as possible. QR and other companies leverage Neynar's notification stack which

- abstracts away everything w.r.t. maintaining a notifications server and service
- lets non developers use the UI portal to send
- provides built in tracking and analytics for iterating on notification campaigns

🚀 Miniapp just got 2 major upgrades:

⚡️ Smart notifications on tips: Push to recipient, public cast in /tipdotmd only if push fails, powered by @neynar 
🔗 Deeplink support: Share direct links to tip specific apps/users

Less spam, more signal! 🎯

Finally got around to add this and I agree its a major pullback for users into your app
