We could streamline and embed @survey polls into the Warpcast client Benefits - Storage infrastructure is already built - Polls stored for users to revisit in perpetuity (differentiated from X) - We can provide interesting sentiment analysis over time - They function across all clients

A frame could specify a url that points to a factory version of the frame + have some way for a frame to output an embed url to be inserted in a cast message. These factory frames usually terminate with a share button that links to a cast intent Index those factory frames and surface them in the cast composer

with the polls example, the /supercast model is quite good where its a native ui within the app to create a poll and cast it as a frame. imo for any behavior like this to take off on warpcast, your (2) is spot on

1. see 2. 2. Let people use (some) frames during cast creation - for example a poll creation frame via a + -> search frame dropdown 3. warpcast proxies slow down frames significantly, or do things the way mod did (a couple more components beyond buttons, client side multi-frames w/ server req only when needed)

I tend to like native solutions. One option is for frames to have a manifest that describes the data they need and a create endpoint. In the cast composer WC could have a frame discovery/picker for frames with create endpoint. WC generates a form based on the manifest and calls create. On success it embeds the frame

latency is the worst part of frame ux imo

The signal "FID X that you follow interacted with this frame" could be leveraged. A "People you follow recently interacted with these frames" feed would probably help (standalone, or inside notifications). In this direction, maybe bring a frame to the top of the home feed every time someone I follow interact with it?

1. The "Trending Frames" tab which I believe was designed to help people discover cool frames is not effective to me as there is a huge variety of frames that I don't find interesting. Having them classified by categories or tags might help App Clients to recommend better Frames to a specific user.

I feel like the new cast type mentioned on the call last time is an interesting opportunity to expand the surface area Something like native forms rendered based on json response This would make config for more useful frames a lot easier Most of the time your just collecting info/settings to set up an user action

a simple default “frame board” on the left panel where users could navigate and click “create a poll” to make this right inside of wc would need to think of other wc default frames that could be commonly used

Would love proper next frame cache If it’s static or precomputable already return the next frame in the frame response make it more asynchronous to deliver faster Would help especially static frames like paragraph or slideshows (neynar frame studio, etc) https://warpcast.com/samuellhuber/0xc4e4eb85

2. Contributing to @stephancill's comment on that, I could see a flow similar to Cast Actions: a. "Factory Frame" can be added in a specific "Factory Frames" list by visiting a deeplink that points to route accepting GET method which has a similar to Cast Action GET response: name, description, icon etc.

1 - imho frames are perfect for a multi-category rolodex. maybe needs a core "swiss army kit" w/ warps. 2 - is "nested content pending" the same as "save to drafts"? 3 - text cutoff is probably the most friction for me. suggest a gradual exodus to genmojis.

I wonder if Frames are just MVPs to test features that should be integrated with better UX natively into clients.

frames can integrate with mini-apps, when click frames, popup a modal with all html5 capabilities. Even further, the html can be rendered into native elements when expo rsc come out

Ideally the initial frame provides the user fid. This way the frame can be tailored on first view
