"frames are slow" after digging into this deeper I've come to appreciate this isn't about network latency or compute to generate images but the high level of interactivity we've come to expect from apps and the inherent limitations of trying to embed this directly into a social feed for ex: looking at a relatively simple and common flow like an ERC20 swap: - input: 2 currency inputs, 2 token selectors, settings, submit - dynamic: token selectors show tokens I own, changing 1 input will recompute implied values of other inputs, conversion rate is shown including total USD value, sell input goes red if exceed my balance - 3 steps: input -> review which shows fees, gas estimate, rate, slippage -> tx monitoring there is no way to build an equivalent experience in the existing frames model this is why I'm excited about the new direction we're exploring that barbells a simple artifact that's easy to embed in feeds with the app frame where applications can deliver rich interactive Farcaster-native experiences

This is gonna be big I see it as an equivalent to how Instagram (and other web2 social apps) render links in feed The design space is *even bigger* than the current Frame spec - you can literally embed your whole website Very bullish :)

yea good analog one thing we're thinking about is how to make them feel on more native than just exploring a web page on a browser have some ideas for providing some native UI elements like a primary button but will most likely come down to design conventions
