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

2. There will be a standard for users to create Frames from a Frame

It shouldn't just be easy for apps to display frames, but also for apps to allow users to create Frames. You shouldn't have to go to fc-polls.vercel.app to make a Poll - it should be right there in the app you're in

3. Richer interactions; 

A Chess Frame is kinda bad UX with 4 buttons to the point where it's unusable. 

Frames will have richer and more expressive UIs than just 4 buttons and an image that updates

4. Frames will support Videos, Livestreams and HTML Canvas based games instead of just Images

5. Decentralized Frames. 

Frames today are hosted by websites that can go down, need to be trusted to actually count your actions, can see what users vote in "anonymous polls", and can modify frames to break past ones.

6. It will be easy for anyone to make a Frame - whether through LLMs or No-code editors, Frames will not just be something Devs make.

7. Frames will pair with Bots that can message or reply to casts to notify users to enable turn based games

8. Apps will monetize through Frames transactions referral fees, and some Frames creators will become rich from making them, just like in the iOS App Store.

9. This is just the beginning, and we're going to see millions of Mini-apps emerge - Frames are a step towards a more composable internet

10. Currently only the site can make a frame - so only github.com can make a github Frame. That is powerful, but also limits Frames - we will see people make frames that authorize to a central server where people connect their accounts, and that allows frames to act on their behalf - like starrring a github repo

11. Beyond Frames - We will have Mini-apps for interacting with any post. 

Trigger an Action from any post using community created Actions. Tip, Share, Summarize, ...

Boost on twitter please

12. We will see frames in messaging surfaces, blog posts, websites, and other apps, not just in social feeds.

1. Onchain Txs & Payments

Frames will be able to perform onchain transactions and pay for things. 

Some Frames may be token gated and require minting to be able to use them.

There's a Frame Mod - Frames are a protocol that can be implemented via a Mod

Im not clear on how @mod relates to Frames @df?

very cool to see what you've been talking about for >6 months come together
