> I'm not very familiar with the MiniApps work. Are we intentionally aligning with them / is there some assumed compatibility between the two standards? Do we try to align opportunistically (i.e. if there's something that "feels the same" we try to align but we don't go out of our way to make it compatible)?

The other way round :) MiniApp is trying to reuse/align with the existing standards. As a first approach, the MiniApp vendors agreed to extend the Web App Manifest. 

The purpose and semantics of the MiniApp's [`app_id`](https://w3c.github.io/miniapp-manifest/#dfn-app_id) member are the same (identify the app univocally), but most of the MiniApp vendors don't use URLs to identify the app. I can bring this discussion to the MiniApp WG and see if this member could be reused.

I agree with you @mgiuca @philloooo that the term `id` would be enough since `app` may be redundant.
