Farcaster Devs

Saw a few casts grumbling about the next iteration of frames

Clearing up misconceptions:

1. We circulated earlier versions of the public draft with a dozen or teams who are actively building frames.

2. Existing frames will continue to work as is. If people continue to build them and they have meaningful usage, we will support them.

3. Our goal with the changes is to give developers *more* surface area to build better experiences and *more* reliability for one shot actions like transactions (still clunky today).

4. Frames are just links. So other clients can choose to adopt or not and they will start work.

5. Frames are Farcaster primitives not just Warpcast because they contain social context, e.g. a user’s FID

Coda: if you want to provide feedback, just cast and tag me. Or send a DC.

Posting anonymously isn’t particularly actionable.

I actually think it’s fine. People should have freedom to do what they want.

Just don’t expect it to be effective if you want actual change.
