Should we rename Frames v2 to Mini Apps? 

This is one of the most requested changes from devs, and we're prioritizing it this week. 

Here's a quick proposal for how the name change could be implemented. Looking for quick feedback from developers before we draft docs and fips.

Mini App will refer to the window that pops up when you launch an app. 

Mini App embed will refer to the item that shows up in the feed when you add a miniapp into a cast. 

We'll also have link embeds, cast embeds and all the other types that we support today.

Does this affect v1 Frames? 

- We're calling them Frame Embeds
- No changes in functionality other than the name change.

How will this be rolled out? 

If we get consensus, this will be rolled out quickly. No breaking changes are expected at launch, just renaming our documentation and a lot of things in the UI.

Why are we doing this? 

- v1 Frames were a new kind of building block and needed a new name
- v2 Frames are similar to miniapps in telegram/world app
- Keeping names consistent makes it easier for new developers
