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 

@blockheim I can’t

inb4 @dwr.eth says “how does this grow DAU?”

- viewer might like, reply to or recast what they see 
- someone who hasn’t seen their casts might see it now because viewer’s latest engagement (and the new viewer might engage with the cast too, extending the cycle)
- new people seeing new content might bring them back more often to the app
- @erica , example in this case, might get more followers as a result incentivizing them to cast more 

Obv the lines get blurry further in the funnel but devs plz do something

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.

tbh there's not a lot of "state" in that frame that I care about though I get the problem you are referring to

the way I (and I imagine most people) use it is to see my score and then a flat list of people with high scores 

if it closes, its super easy to go back into it and open the flat list back up (I agree that the problem of losing state is generally real, not sure how much it matters to this frame specifically)

💯 this is such a bad user journey. We’ve all clicked on that and wanted to then go to the user’s profile. I’ve personally gone to search and manually looked them up but the friction has completely reduced my discoverabilty of new accounts to follow

yeah this is such a pain point. not sure how this thing even shipped without being able to go to someone’s profile

Answered on why with more detail below.

warpcast dev: just reuse the profile card component, what could go wrong?

So true. I keep trying the same and forgetting that it doesn’t link to the user profile….
