- frame v1 vs v2 confusing for beginners; how about frame embeds vs mini-app - unclear that frame dev tools (including domain verifications) exist in warpcast mobile, would be useful to note in top-level docs - lack of persisted state - unclear what actions are disabled by sandbox (e.g. had to disable image downloads for aura results) - unclear whether the user is in a mobile app context vs. desktop context (might only want to enable experiences on mobile for example) - unclear what kind of mobile device the user is on (i think we were using user agent to determine directing the user to app store vs play store, but it always sent them to play store) overall though @horsefacts.eth has been an absolute gem in answering questions!

i love frames, and now i can say i've built a bunch of them my biggest pet peeve is that the device's back button closes the frame instead of taking you to the prior page in the frame other than that, i think frames are awesome, and i'm super bullish on them and farcaster

oh man. - subtle: & and %s in share URLs break the warp cast intent (and aren’t documented anywhere) - major: breaking changes to the API without any changelog or warning - major: no clue how to properly do auth (FID based? they can be impersonated. ETH addr based? users can change them and lose all their data)

Would love to have frames in DCs, cast action frame v2 Basically implement the feature triggers documented in the spec Other then that mostly frustration is no go to source for docs besides frames SDK running code and just reading through all that hoping it’s what’s live as that sometimes differs from from other doc sources as shown by @jc4p recently That’s mainly it getting generic frames up & running has been stable for us 💜 frame wagmi connector @devzl you may wanna comment on?

– would be cool to be able to store some persistent local state, maybe a size-limited KV type thing – would be nice to see who a frame is from (or at least the domain) on the timeline – would be awesome to have a minimized state for audio frames or experiences that require back and forth on the timeline

some random ones: • no docs on local storage and how reliable it is and which lifecycle (stays between app launches, phone restarts?) • allow frames to trigger swap UI

official repo is not up to date, so it's a bit of a headache for someone starting from scratch like me a few days ago

From a v2 frame **user** perspective, my biggest pet peeve is opening a frame on desktop and being immediately asked to connect, despite wallet already connected to Warpcast. To make matters worse, i need to connect using my phone, which is often in the next room. This adds a lot of friction — most users just close the frame and never come back, myself included.

Splash screen is mildly annoying for frequently opened frames. It would be neat if frames could specify a prefetch flag to which Warpcast will render the anticipated frame in the background, maybe even take a screenshot of sorts, and display that in place of the icon. It'd add some delight to them, I feel!

Leaving frame and losing your place really sucks. Especially bc a lot of things in frame intertwine with things in warpcast. (Eg, sending out a cast prompted by the frame.) Would be amazing if leaving a frame while you go and scroll Warpcast was a smooth as keeping a video playing while you go and scroll YouTube.

I think v1 frames were on the nose of something great, biggest pain point felt like limiting responses to image rendering. Would be neat for frames that don't need to go the full web app route. https://warpcast.com/sdv.eth/0xe0b87117

A minor UX change that would make a big difference Make the popup full screen on mobile The gap at the top makes them feel fragile, even though you can't accidentally close them by clicking it

Can we introduce higher resolution frames? HD frames? The window is really too small. Feels like I’m looking at an Adobe Flash widget or those old school iFrame banner ads.
