Announcing the Paragraph Mini App on Farcaster
The new Paragraph mini app on Farcaster makes it easier than ever to share your writing and get your work in front of more readers.
With the Paragraph mini app, when you share a Paragraph post on Farcaster, it becomes an instant-loading article that anyone can read without leaving the app. This seamless experience allows writers to reach a much wider audience and better connect with readers where they are.
Sharing your writing on social platforms like Farcaster is crucial for growing your audience. Not only does it let you engage directly with your readers, but it also makes it easy for them to share your work with their followers. This amplifies your reach and helps you build a stronger connection with your readers.
Views from the Paragraph mini app are included in total "Views" for each post. We plan to show views by platform soon to provide more insight on where your posts are being read.
We’re just getting started with the Paragraph mini app. We’re working on improvements that will help writers grow their subscribers and more effectively monetize, all while keeping the reading experience seamless and enjoyable.
There’s never been a better time to start writing on Paragraph — write your first post, share it to Farcaster, and take advantage of this powerful new way to grow your audience.

Since we launched the Paragraph miniapp last week, there's been thousands of users that read a Paragraph post without leaving the feed. We're now beginning to track & show these pageviews (including reading time) in your Paragraph post metrics. We'll soon be slicing metrics by source, so you'll be able to see exactly how your readers are engaging with your content, no matter where they are.

100% massive improvement in readability. You said that you would deliver and you delivered.
This is huge, and I'm so excited about the mini-app! Once you start tracking the page views and other metrics, I imagine you'll have access to users' identity info (including FIDs) when they click to read in-frame via the mini-app, just as you would with other frames. Is that correct? And if so, could that info be used for the purpose of rewarding readers with Moxie in the background, just as users can be rewarded when they engage with other types of frames? I'm thinking about possible Moxie use cases here.
I love the mini app. But I have a counter-intuitive suggestion: I'd love a small place to click--even if subtle and a iykyk feature where I could click it and open the article in paragraph. The reason: on desktop, i like to leave tabs open of paragraph articles to read sometime together. The mini app on desktop is really small. If you have a big monitor to make reading on your eyes, the mini app is really counter productive. I read less paragraph articles since the mini app even though it's slick. I'd like the option.
Great feedback! We've heard similar-ish comments. e.g., People wanting to copy the link to add to a "read later" app. We'll think about how we could go about this — thanks again!
Another +1 to what Brad wrote. Love the mini app and I'm happy to be able to read that way without even leaving the feed, but I'd also like to be able to open the article in a browser tab.
Wanted to say this but you've voiced my thoughts perfectly.
Dude you are always killing it. Using Paragraph has made me excited to write, and I often need that boost 😅
