Farcaster Devs

Handling all Frame redirects by returning 302s is a bit of a pain. We are considering simplifying the design. If you have feedback or suggestions on simplifying redirects, I'd love to hear them!

One obvious addition is a simple "external link" button with no server round trip. What else could be better?

One of my concerns when Varun originally mentioned that as an alternative was that it can get stale, especially for stateful frames

The nice thing with the 302 (while it does feel a bit cumbersome) is that you can add validation and logic that’s executed when the action is taken vs. when the frame is rendered

the pattern of redirect to a server that process the frame message and then redirects the user wherever would achieve the same re not getting stale

Yeah, I think we'll probably keep both, but not *everything* needs to be a 302.
