Farcaster

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?

Farcaster by @solanafoundation

@dwr.eth solo dev here, my experience so far : had done web app first, then spoke to @linda and decided to build miniapp from scratch in 48h to target @solana release, using @neynar starter and porting components. 

Backend was done so was easier but ended up redoing a lot to leverage the @farcaster SDK (ex: QuickAuth) and social features.

Very happy with the decision to build here, added 2700+ users and processed 350+ tips since launch.
Still iterating and leveraging all the features you guys add.

Clearly a special place to build on and looking forward to doing more!
