What's the most annoying thing about building frames today?

- Figuring out what url to POST to as a frame client is hard to get right. Lots of fallbacks! - The dance between JSON for tx call data and HTML for frames is not ideal.

Not annoying anymore since we build a framework to abstract this, but I think this change could be high ROI: Having button actions as enums instead of indices reduce the requirement for state tracking + reduce problems related to backwards compatibility

Most annoying? generating the images. Simple text is not so bad, but dynamic text, with emoji support, fonts, images is pretty clunky. Helps if you pay vercel but $$$. But images make it way more portable so it’s prob worth it.

Not finding the way to build a no-code raffle frame (maybe there is some workaround and I don’t know it)

Images for interactivity is a super hacky experience. Sandboxed HTML would enable almost all the use cases people are hacking around today.

- no always up to date before releases canonical page for every frame spec change - constant moving target for spec changes (#1 would help w this) - no testnet for txn - no mobile playground for testing UX flows when 80%+ warpcast users are mobile - frame dev support is doing their best, but there's too much to deal w

We need transactions to work on test networks (i.e. sepolia) to make it easier to develop and test frames

Being not able to invalidate cache of a frame. Upgrading a frame therefore becomes problematic. A button in the validator would be enough for such!

Cacheing seems to be the one that gets me the most often. It can make it really difficult to figure out whether you've fixed a bug or not.

I wish buttons would show up even when user is not logged in FC. Beside that I kinda like constrained dev environment, so no big ask come to mind

For me, it's single POST target URL. State helps a lot there (I did not expect it!), but deciding what to do based on previous state (state + button) feels weird. It's as if I have a single URL and I decide what it does based on the referrer. (Maybe it's me)
