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

Another great tip.

I still don’t know what they do.
(puts a pin in it…)

Do you know of a video tutorial on how to build one? I would love to dive in, but need hand holding.

Thank you!! This guide is great for a noobie like me

Great intro! Really helps a noob not be completely obnoxious trying to figure out the ways of FC.
