A very, very rough draft for "App Frames". Feedback welcome. Our goal is to keep the best things about frames while making it easy to build great user experiences. https://warpcast.notion.site/App-Frames-Public-12a6a6c0c101805f84f0ca8bb27047d6?pvs=74

This will launch as a new type of frame that you can build, alongside existing frames. After several months, we may consider deprecating the old frame standard if the new one becomes more popular. But no short term plan to do so.

Will app frames be given the users connected wallet address before making a transaction request? This is required to show wallet specific state, and is a limitation of frames today.

One of the nice things about the current protocol is that it's simple enough for AI agents to interact with frames because the images can be "read" by the AI and the actions are simple enough for the AI to grok and POST. Are you intending to preserve this in some way or don't you see it as an issue, or simply not a priority?

Would app frames still need to be approved by warpcast before users are able to access them or will you open it up to be permissionless?

What benefit does it bring to unify all frames into a single aspect ratio? I would have expected it to be more flexible than now.

Exciting times! We're building our next title, Based Gooeys within a Frame, do you know when App Frames might drop?

How interoperable would this be? Would it be simple for a third party client to implement? Simple doesn’t mean 5 lines of code, but let’s say 1-2 weeks of work?

would this be a Wc feature or an Fc standard? would this be essentially a heavily sandboxed webview? Access to a wallet provider inside it would simplify onchain activity.

Love seeing the FC actions, stitching together these pieces natively within mini apps is a huge opportunity ( + differentiator) Feels more like an "Apps" update than a frames update? Unless the intention is for mini apps to be called app frames? Are these app frame spec features that are net new (replace frame spec) or are these the recent mini app postMessage types? - I would assume later, just clarifying :)

App frames seem like an exciting change coming! I especially like the “one-shot” and local caching to indicate previous interactions.
