Founders

Our team has been shipping open source software for 7 months to enable Mini-apps on Farcaster, working hard to get people to notice or care, via /mod 

We wrote FIPs, shared demos with Warpcast, asking for feedback, got a bunch of Farcaster clients to integrate, all ready for a big launch of the first Mods.

Building Larry, FOSS via @frames, @framesfun /open-frames to help decentralized social win. a16z CSX23. farcasterchannels.com farcaster.id

then Warpcast made a simpler way with Frames, with distribution, and people loved it. Really loved it.

Frames are simpler and easier to make, and Farcaster signatures make them extra magic. 

We started working on @mod back in May bc we thought that's what decentralized social needed to succeed against web2.

After many sleepless nights, frames.js is finally live - the fastest way to build a frame, including a live local debugger.

We're here to support you in building frames with world class developer tooling. Shipping updates daily.

Distribution is something we didn't have, desperately wanted, and the harsh truth is Farcaster Frames executed it better.

We're throwing away our old code, starting fresh, same mission, different name, to make a more open & composable web.

Announcing frames.js - next.js for Frames

Our mission is to put a frame in every website, taking the web from a walled garden to a flourishing meadow

I shared this to /founders because I think there are some important lessons earned here.

Being early doesn't matter. Ideas don't matter. Execution does. Simplicity does. Distribution does.

Protocols without distribution lose to apps with distribution (who can then protocolize if they want)
