Farcaster client Warpcast started a native approach to creating apps for the distributed social media network. Called mini applications and live as of Tuesday, the new tooling system is akin to the current Farcaster Frames feature, allowing users to run dapps straight into their social network feeds.
Launching a Frame, Warpcast developer horsefacts described in a social media post is easier and tougher in some respects than a mini app view, which is a full HTML/CSS/JS webpage. “Easier because you can use a full interactive canvas and any web framework you want; harder because there’s more to set up than a simple image.”
One of the most often used distributed social media systems made to let users own their data is Farcaster. Fortune noted in June 2024 that the Ethereum-based protocol attracted over 50,000 daily users.
Co-creator of Farcaster, Dan Romero, told me that although small apps created on Farcaster can function on any app, they particularly have a Warpcast capability.
Mini apps might be used to mint NFTs, create games, and generate surveys, among other activities, just as Farcaster Frames allow builders to make any post on the Farcaster interactive app. Horsefacts linked to the well-known cryptocurrency game FlappyCaster, which lets users move a cartoon bird across many challenges.
Romero sent a link to a piece he penned on the definition of “sufficient decentralization” using Paragraph, a Web3 newsletter and publishing platform.
Mini programs will be able to be started from frames as well as “deep links,” a kind of URL that brings visitors straight to a particular page in an app rather than a website or shop. Though the team “may introduce a new frame button type,” the developer documentation adds that for now only Warpcast-specific URLs will be supported.
