Alright, 3 days in.

1. Building a miniapp is way faster iteration for a client.. but ya still gotta build the client. You should 100% build a miniapp first.

2. An indie backend lift is still very non-trivial and mixing these authentication frameworks is not good for Farcaster newbies.

Mini Apps

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!

Which way anon?

Building a miniapp when you Ship Fast™️ is very much not going all-in.

We have a built a totally native everything client, end-to-end. Miniapp is ez mode that helps validate that critical social hook. We figured it out building a React Native client, but would do it with a miniapp if Day 0.

Yes and offer an open source streaming and indexing client, too!

Thanks! @farcasteradmin.eth is using it for the $EGGS miniapp.

Hopefully will expand docs so others can bootstrap.
