Proposal:

Add markdown support to the frame spec.

fc:frame:markdown

The client will render the markdown fully.

The current approach of screenshot essays or  frame servers generating an image results in a poor experience.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

Since all frames are pics and buttons (afaik), this then introduces text-based frames?

Congrats @dwr.eth @v,  grateful to be part of the story.

Instead of screenshot essay or use the "read inline" feature from paragraph frame with one image at a time, the frame could just render the post markdown. Its simpler to put text on meta tag than render images.

Yes.

Ideally clients use a proper markdown renderer to support the spec (might want to decide the base md extensions to support).

Clients are free to handle the content as they please, either render the entire thing or render part of it and add a way to expand, etc.

I agree text is nicer than images. So to understand you correctly you're proposing introducing text-based frames with markdown support?
