Quick layman explanation on Frame:
- You create site, site has link
- Site has meta frame tags
- You post site link to FC client
- Client parses the meta tags
- If supported, will embed the Frame, if not fallback to simple embed
- Click Button will send POST to site link
- Response from site is HTML with new frame

Wrap your head around frames

Frames are a brand new feature that allow mini-app like interactivity within casts. 

This cast from @king does a great job breaking down how they work

0. Connect an address asap. 

I had thought my custody addy was sufficient for the festivities, but you’ll want another for top fun.

Another great tip.

Since I shared this, they upped the number to 400. Sorry ;)

7 followers away from “active”…. 👀 🤷‍♂️?

Crypto techy person. Giving 1 SOL to 10 followers at 500 followers!

Anyone know when it changed from 200 followers to 400 followers?

Are active badges now blue stars? I see a white "z" here. 😊

I've been looking for someone to actually explain the badge process. Thank you.
