A very, very rough draft for "App Frames".  Feedback welcome. 

Our goal is to keep the best things about frames while making it easy to build great user experiences.

dang I really like this design, neat culmination of all the frame/mini app experiments over the past few months

tldr; you get the in-feed exposure of a frame but then can quickly load a mini app and even return content back into the frame for some sort of success state(or other use cases)

but yeah really excited about this and you should check out the rough "App Frame" spec below!

so basically it's like the in-feed mini-app right now, but you can write frames + mini app at the same time?

yeah so it's like the current setup now except
- the mini app can close itself and the frame that triggered it can have some local state to show an event/interaction has happened(eg. you've minted the nft/rsvp'd to the event etc)
- we can grab the mini app html from the frame server on the frame call to make the whole ux a lot quicker/snappier

and a bit more I think but IIRC that's the main crux
