frames-v2

Many mini apps I love (not calling anyone out) do not make very compelling use of their embed image: they are often a large, static, centered logo with text.

These eat up vertical space in feed and get tiring when they are repeated. If your app goes viral with an embed like this, users are more likely to get annoyed and tune it out.

If you could opt in to a more compact embed format, would you use it? What would it need to provide to be compelling?

Dumb thought: displaying frame previews like a link (or similar to a link) might not be the right design choice initially. People expect to see boring  content in link previews - mostly because link previews are boring.

Why not take a contrarian view and say that a frame should not be displayed as a link? Maybe a photo can link to a frame, or a video, or a token.

I think it's hard for devs to build a preview that's aimed at being viewed lots of times with the same format without getting boring at some point.

A good parallel is twitter / tiktok / polymarket embeds on news sites. Somehow they don't look like a link - they look more native.
