Farcaster client Warpcast launches new feature "mini apps"

Decentralized social protocol Farcaster client Warpcast has launched a native way to develop applications for the decentralized social media protocol. The tool system, called mini apps, went live on Tuesday and is similar to the existing Farcaster Frames feature, allowing users to embed DApps directly into their social media feeds. Warpcast developer horsefacts explained: "The Mini-app view is a complete HTML/CSS/JS web page, so it is both simple and complex in some ways. Simple because users can use a full interactive canvas and any web framework they want, and complex because it requires more content to set up than a simple image." Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero said mini apps are a Warpcast-specific feature, "but it can run on any Farcaster-based application." (The Block)
