Farcaster Devs

The web Developer Tools just got a new fresh coat of paint!

The tools are focused on validating, previewing and publishing your mini apps.

We removed building the json builder since starter projects and other tools can help with that (more to come).
We also removed localhost support because it didn't work well and it was a source of frustration for devs, we recommend using a tunnel instead.

@deodad can you share more details on this?

servers can reach localhost 

attempting to fetch data (embeds or manifest) from the browser on warpcast.com requires the localhost server to setup CORS policies allowing this

this is not generally desirable and more troublesome then tunneling

if we want to enable localhost dev we'd need a server running on localhost (like frames.js) so that we can fetch from client w/o x-origin
