Warpcast

- Go to rewards leaderboard 
- See who’s on top 
- Get curious about “oh I wonder what they’ve been casting about”
- Tap on their profile to see their latest casts
- Take the only available action and unfollow them instead

We have heard this many times. We are aware this is a sub-optimal UX but we are taking our time on "fixing" this and want to explain why.

Most frames are stateful so if we allowed them to navigate to screens we would have to first build a way for users to get back to their last state in the frame when they indicate "back" action.

Simply put: you scroll to item 60 in rewards frame, you press to see user profile, frame closes, app navigates. You know press back. What do you expect to see? Most users expect to see frame to open when they last seen it (item 60).

This means in practice — we have to either build a way for frames to work "picture in picture" or some stateful pattern or we move the rewards frame out of frame context and make it its own screen so everything works as expected on Warpcast.

Short term we are likely to move rewards to its own screen and deprecate the frame implementation.

how would you feel if this closed the frame and clobbered its state? that's why this doesn't navigate away right now. we think most people would be even more annoyed.

But the rewards app doesn't maintain any other state except for the default one? You browse away but can always come back with two clicks. Browsing away at that time is the intended purpose anyway. 
When someone clicks the profile photo in profile preview component, they definitely want to browse to the profile and understand that the frame will close, that's ok.

Basically. And the fact that it is a frame is irrelevant to an end user, the distinction as far as they're concerned is non existent. When I joined initially, I thought rewards is a screen within the app, not an app within an app. 
Clicking on profile pic to go to the profile is a very natural action and for the end user it is like browsing different screens of the same app. I think that's the reason everyone keeps asking why it doesn't work this way.
