We're considering ending support for v1 Frames in 3 months. 

Why? 
- It has little usage; most devs moved to miniapps 
- It simplifies the protocol for client builders + new devs. 
- It simplifies the UX for users. Only one type of "app" in the feed. 

Over 90% of devs we polled support this decision.

v1 was a fun spec to write for, never wrote up that sorta render loop before. Pretty proud of it too, the caching system made it feel super speedy even when the entire protocol were hammering out waifus.

But yeah, it's pretty clear the functionality of v2 (and no actual NEED for a custom render/caching system) has shown how unwieldy v1 was in retrospect.

Am going to miss the in-feed embeds though. Genuinely did like those, but yeah, not very compatible with v2 unless you actively load in and launch every single miniapp before rendering the home screen. i.e: set devices on fire.

Good show, long live Frames 🫡
