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!

Making it with crypto for my family and my generations to come

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

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