Facebook apps are easy to make but yes, they do require users to add the application to their profile which is really a pain. There is a way to interface with Facebook from a remote site using their API but every HTTP request requires new authentication so it can be a very big pain.
Basically, follow the instructions on facebook for creating an app. You'll see that the app just communicates with your server so facebook acts as a gateway to your code. Anyone can create an app so when you think about it, the adding it to a profile thing is good.
