How does one build Farcaster Frames? What's the mental model? What do you do? Having worked with the top projects on Farcaster here's how! I think about Frames like a Gameboy. Limited buttons, but with creativity the most fun games and customer journeys can be modelled.

This is a great analogy! In a way, limitations unlock more creativity because you can only play by those rules For me I think of an action and an outcome. I try to keep it as simple as possible, as adding too many features will make it an app or website

action <> outcome is interesing What's the difference between that and an app to you? Website I get because it's a UI difference

As a user, it's immediate availability of data, actions, customisation, integrations with other services for apps. For frames, similar but hyper focused on one feature. As a dev, frames are easier to build and roll out. However it gets trickier when you have a bigger frame and cognitive load is a real challenge. Imagine a frame with 30 screens. Maintaining can become difficult but not only that, it's the user retention too. I found that simpler frames that do just "one thing" tend to work best for now. When a frame reaches this maturity in utility, it might be time to extend it into an app/web app, where the user has more reach to the other features without being locked in a small space. Plus, you can integrate it with other apps in your device, enhancing its utility. An app would be action -> outcome -> extend this data to share, combine, store, automate, etc. If there was a way to build open apps without relying on Apple or Google it would be great. That's one of the limitations over Web apps and frames

>I found that simpler frames that do just "one thing" tend to work best for now. thinking of frames as unix tools is great! btw with deep links to mini apps the one tool frame -> your complex app will become feasable. and then that webpage could prompt to a full blown mobile app that then has all features
