My 3yo just told me we shouldn’t go to Coney Island because there maybe too many cones on the Island.

My job is done. She is ready to join the workplace.

🗣️VIDEO FRAMES BUILDERS! We got u. 📹🖼️ Check out the Open Video Frames spec from @pablov.eth @ericxtang @iamng 👇

I can’t wait to see video frames in new clients and apps 🌠

Hack on video frames, achieve greatness. 🧘‍♂️

Open Frames

If it’s important the spec to be compatible with clients that don’t support frames, why not just make og:image a requirements remove the need for of:image?

I’ve been spending time at the National Religious Broadcasters convention for the last few days.

Not all will agree with this, but religion needs web3.

Great essay from @li about points vs tokens for web3 consumer builders.  https://t.co/RcJyIUEXLp

It’s interesting to map this to $warps.  I’ve been getting $warps from farcaster friends lately, and that has made my brand loyalty experience more authentic.

Web3 social has a unique advantage for GenAI content.  

Centralized social will go after it too, but the product risk is too high for making big changes with legacy communities.

Let’s go Farcaster!

frames

Video frames spec discussion is going well.  More to share very soon! 

The energy in the farcaster dev community now is special.

Currently frames are URLs in casts.  This means a frame to have staying power, it would have to be reshared by different people over and over again (otherwise it’ll just quickly scroll off).

What’s the best mental model to think about frames in a feed centric world? URLs with superpowers?
