frames

ok i tried frames.js and frog, neither work well with a basic node js backend, both do the ssr bs which means a backend dev (frames are backend fwiw) can't use their usual tech stack (e.g. mongo+ts+typegoose+decorators, etc)

what i needed was to simply make me a nice picture

what i get was "ssr can't compile"

I'm not sure I'd recommend it but if you're comfortable rolling your own SVGs I found vanjs.org was good enough to get my frame going. 

```
import van from "mini-van-plate/van-plate"
const { svg, text, g } = van.tags("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")
return svg({
        viewBox: '0 0 1188 612',
    }).render();
```

Not sure I'd agree on "frames are backend" though. Remember when a user clicks on the frame they'll get sent to whatever the frame URL is.

My solution to that on https://f.far.date/f/create/habit was to return a minimal view that feels like a frame rather than a full app. What we probably need is a swagger for frames.
