The new minimize feature in v2 quietly brings back some of the magic from v1. Frames v1 had this ephemeral charm that felt like playful little widgets embedded directly into the feed. You could tap, interact, and keep scrolling. They were lightweight and conversational, native to the rhythm of the social feed. But they were also heavily constrained. Frames v2 unlocked the ability to build full-featured apps inside Farcaster. That shift brought serious power. suddenly, Farcaster started to feel like a social app store built on top of the graph. But the tradeoff was a shift in context. Interacting with a v2 Frame often meant leaving the feed behind and entering a separate mini-app experience. It was still cool, but some of that feed-native feeling got lost.

The new minimize feature feels like a small but important step toward restoring that balance. Now, v2 Frames can behave more like popovers. something you can dip into or keep running in the background and then quickly return to the flow of conversation. It’s not quite the ephemeral magic of v1, but it nods to it in a way that makes v2 feel more integrated with the social layer. The ideal version of Frames probably blends both worlds. Expressive, powerful apps that still feel fluid and native to the feed. Farcaster is evolving fast, and this feels like a meaningful design step forward.
