Frames sparked a ton of creativity and showcased what a composable social feed could look like. Frames v2 were a completely new standard that combined in feed interactivity with fully-fledged web applications. 

The term itself has become confusing since it refers to multiple things within Farcaster. It is also unrecognizable to developers outside the ecosystem.

One idea is to Frames -> Mini Apps. This will reduce term confusion and make it legible to huge ecosystem of developers working on applications in ecosystems like Telegram and World.

What say you?

"mini apps" sounds too generic to me but for non FC natives, it sounds much better and easier to understand that "frames"

Totally agree. Frames was never an intuitive name, and v2 “frames” have always actually been mini-apps…

I hear adding an “i” in front of anything is still popular. iFixIt, iPad…. 😂
