Miniapps are gaining momentum. More and more developers are choosing to get early traction for their miniapp on Farcaster before doubling down and expanding their product idea. Recently, Dash—the TikTok-like miniapp—launched channel feeds supported by ❜embed, debuting with a bang!
If you want a piece of the action, here are a few ideas for miniapps you can build and launch on Farcaster using ❜embed’s API endpoints. And by the way, we've just added a guide detailing how to build a miniapp with our SDK.
6 miniapp ideas to build on Farcaster using
1. Mini-app explorer
Create an infinite scroll of the newest and top-rated Farcaster miniapps, sortable by category (gaming, finance, wellness…). You could even layer in crypto-powered economics. Visit the ❜embed console to build feeds that filter miniapps by category.
2. Zora content-coin feed
We’ve just released the Zora publication type, which filters Zora videos and images posted on Farcaster. Use it to build real-time, personalized feeds so users can view and trade on-chain content—then monetize by taking a cut of trades that happen inside your app.
3. Most-popular casts (idea credit: @crunnella)
A miniapp that surfaces a user’s most popular casts over a chosen time window.
4. Gaming newsletter
Build a gaming feed and send a weekly digest with notifications. Create the feed in ❜embed using miniapp filtering plus gaming AI labels, then push the digest. The newsletter and in-app notifications keep users returning to your miniapp.
5. Dating miniapp (idea credit: @rish, @linda)
The name says it all. Pull a feed of users and display their profiles in fun, engaging ways—or match users directly. Check out endpoints for similar-user discovery and user labels.
6. User profile cards
Farcaster users love showing off analytics—see the Onchain Alignment miniapp by @jc4p. Our friend @samuellhuber.eth mocked up a Farcaster user profile card; he’s fine if you beat him to building it! Explore the user endpoints in the API reference.
