These past couple of weeks I've been focused on making the Warpcast app feel faster. There is still more room for improvement but I'm happy to say that we've been able to move the needle. We did this by: - parallelizing more requests in the background - tweaking when we issue certain requests - lazy loading data into lists - lazy loading large resources such as videos We can already see improvements in some charts that haven't been easy to move before. I'm particularly happy that my Android feed loads much better as seen in the before and after videos in the replies. Please let me know if you see improvements and especially if you encounter any issues.

1. Frames will help devs bootstrap new ideas Test new ideas by putting them in a frame. It is fast to prototype and easy to get distribution to a wide, crypto friendly audience. Popular frames can be turned into full fledged apps or even companies over time. We're working on a new standard which will: - Make it easier to build interactive experiences - Have wallet integrations to take onchain actions - Make frames more discoverable and reusable @deodad @horsefacts.ethh @cassie and @blockheim are working on this, and it will ship by Dec 2024. https://warpcast.notion.site/App-Frames-Public-12a6a6c0c101805f84f0ca8bb27047d6?pvs=74

"frames are slow" after digging into this deeper I've come to appreciate this isn't about network latency or compute to generate images but the high level of interactivity we've come to expect from apps and the inherent limitations of trying to embed this directly into a social feed for ex: looking at a relatively simple and common flow like an ERC20 swap: - input: 2 currency inputs, 2 token selectors, settings, submit - dynamic: token selectors show tokens I own, changing 1 input will recompute implied values of other inputs, conversion rate is shown including total USD value, sell input goes red if exceed my balance - 3 steps: input -> review which shows fees, gas estimate, rate, slippage -> tx monitoring there is no way to build an equivalent experience in the existing frames model this is why I'm excited about the new direction we're exploring that barbells a simple artifact that's easy to embed in feeds with the app frame where applications can deliver rich interactive Farcaster-native experiences

A very, very rough draft for "App Frames". Feedback welcome. Our goal is to keep the best things about frames while making it easy to build great user experiences. https://warpcast.notion.site/App-Frames-Public-12a6a6c0c101805f84f0ca8bb27047d6?pvs=74

Frames are going to become more interactive with v2, not less! Currently talking to a lot of frame developers to collect feedback before we propose a v2 design. Frames as they currently exist will be supported for several months. Only switch to v2 if it’s good for you.

Thinking through an upgrade to the frame standard to make building them even faster and simpler. If you have a frame that you're actively trying to grow on Farcaster, please reply with the frame and I'll reach out to you for feedback.
