🚂 FrameTrain

🚫 frametra.in is NOTHING without its templates 😠😠

...but what issues does it solve exactly? it's farcaster friday so i thought about rambling a bit about why i've created it!

1️⃣ FRAGMENTATION OF FRAMES.
imagine having to use a different app or website for each graphics template on Canva. couldn't be me..

2️⃣ LACK OF MONETIZATION.
Frame artists have no clear way of monetizing their templates. they have to build an audience, same as Notion template creators had to do before Gumroad. this naturaly leads to less quality and poorly maintained Frames.

3️⃣ POOR DX.
to build a simple Frame you have to plug into a Hub API like @neynar for even the most basic stuff, and you didn’t even start your actual idea yet. furthermore, if you want to let other peeps use your Frame, you now have to create a special app that gives others access to customize it, then host + maintain the entire thing. "I just wanted to build a Frame bro.."

so tell me, what templates do you want to see on /frametrain?

best farcaster developers build on neynar.com | /neynar

anon, still wondering why you would ever build your Frame as a template on FrameTrain?

*paul graham voice*: eventually, someone will build your Frame as a template on FT, so it's best to be *you* that does it & earns from it.
