When I see the increased capabilities of these AppFrames, I am worried that they are a step back in the "on-feed interaction" UX that the original frames provided. Your feed is out of focus when you are on the new ones, and it is not that different from a 3rd party app that has sign in with Farcaster. Frames were disruptive, these look like a modern version of Facebook apps (better designed, but you get my point hopefully). (But it is worth trying it)

Like: - Permissionless nature of domains (no more allowlisting) - UI parity with web2 social apps (see attached cast) - Primary Button for persistent CTA - Variety of API endpoints (especially openFarcasterURI, which didn't seem possible with prior ComposerAction spec) Wish that there was no requirement for splash screen (feels unnecessary; I think Warpcast should have a simple default loader for all App Frames) Also - does the ChannelProfileLaunchContext endpoint pull from the external link field in Channel Profiles? What's an example of that launch context? Overall, great work on this! https://warpcast.com/zd/0x54250147

Is it still possible to deep link this from a frame button? My idea is to have the frame as teaser and then launch from the frame a app frame with details. Or do I have to do this in future with the splash screen and frames like today (just images) won’t exist anymore?

initial thoughts - cast composer should optionally not close the miniapp, should return a cast hash if casted or should return to miniapp if composer closed - openFarcasterUri: is there a way to open a direct cast conversation (will use this in stories) - requestAuthToken: we've spoken about this but a natural extension of the current spec would be to request sign in with farcaster signature

hey @deodad! looks really good Would the SDK be public or do we have go register / enrol as a dev somewhere?

I hope I got it wrong, but it seems app frames take more of farcaster specific direction rather than previous generic mini-app approach. I'm sure many would love to support their app outside of farcaster as well, e.g. telegram, world app, standalone web app. But I will also appreciate if the actual spec implementation will be more of plug-in rather than the framework for app frame development. Happy to see there will be an SDK to simplify authentication as well as leveraging farcaster specific functionality.

Shortly after Frames launched the community (I think it was @df) derived an open version that would in theory have allowed you to build frames that could work outside of the Farcaster feed (like in XMTP, or even in Bluesky). Is there any interest in trying to officially incorporate this thinking into App Frames from the beginning?

Personally love the unification of the legos that will make communication more clear. Bringing call backs to buttons also makes it more interactive, generally love it. Hoping the POST actions are still there since that’s great for composing with other people’s frames and for analytics if one doesn’t want to build full blown web analytics Post messages are also great for Auth so as long as we have at least one say for the entry as with mini apps aka composer actions rn I love it

Dont love 90%, prefer to optionally max window Is header dev managed or client managed? (Back nav etc) Does primary button replace the functionality we currently have with post messages? Or can we do both?

As far as I understand, the first screen (or the screen that lives in the cast) will just be a basic "open" button with a static image. Are there any plans to make it more interactive and customizable? I see that one of the most popular frames has fairly primitive iterations, like "check me" and "share" buttons. Creating an app frame that would open a new modal for this type of frame would be overhead, I imagine.
