frames

A sufficiently decentralized social network. farcaster.xyz

i feel sad to know @farcaster is going to basically heavily handicap if not outright kill /frames 

with the v2 spec.

Frames without post buttons are probably as useful as the original OpenGraph metadata.

if we strip interactivity from the primitve, what innovation is left worth pereserving in it ?

So the post calls go away the spec pushes you to replace that with a miniapp experience? Am I reading the new spec right?

This was a technical commentary, in the context of frames a POST (http action verb) button, sends a call to a server (frames backend) and returns a new frame in response.

That feature is going out of the window.

new frames will have to either be an external link, a transaction/signature, or a mini-app modal link

No more post buttons?

Honestly I don't know what they expect this place to be.

No longer "frames" i guess. Just "frame" lol

Currently deploying. Unofficial head platypus of /lp 

basically frames are becoming single-page so no post button / action

I think they're looking into improving perfornace/reduce caching.

I guess v1/v2 will be supported both for a while... we'll see but big push into mini apps and frames just as discoverability tools for these imho

I was gonna make a frames intersctive tutorial frames.st but not sure anymore

yea this kills a feature I’m developing

I guess that’s on me for not staying up to date on it all

any additional information that you can share on this?

Developer 🤓 build, develop and operate Farcaster solutions @ dtech.vision also love tech, decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

Share the Notion page?

Cc @samuellhuber.eth for visibility

But every time I read about limiting updates, I get the feeling that maintenance costs are high and it’s expensive for them, yet they never mention it. We know the infrastructure maintenance costs for this type of platform. Have they ever communicated on this?

I was expecting breaking changes in Farcaster, but definitely not like this 🤯 waiting for more info

i'm bullish on this change as both the mental and code complexity is gonna go down, and ux is gonna go insanely up.

the only technical difference that might be super-breaking is that there won't be no frame action messages sent to hubs, thus if one had some frame analytics built on top of that, it will die.

Removing interactivity from frames diminishes their value and innovation. It's sad to see potential wasted
