my take on the rebrand: do since it's a net benefit for everyone

splitting was a good idea but it should've been the protocol that got a new name rather than the app

this was the mistake, it doesn't make sense to build brand awareness and then assign it to a protocol that user's cant download and use

rebrand fixes

It should be easier to write specify frames directly in HTML docs

<script id="fc:frame" type="application/json">?

multiple meta tags similar to frames v1 / open graph?

other?
This week I’m going to make Farcaster a better place for developers
this is my recommended getting started stack for building frames
one way to have cake and eat it to wrt Frames vs Mini Apps is to keep the term Frames but specifically for the interactive thing in feed

we'll need to call those components something and this is a nice branded term that maps to the original meaning, otherwise we'll need to a new term like rich embeds or cards
the secret sauce to making novel and interesting apps is integrating social data

up until recently this has only been something the social media giants or those that buy their data have the privilege to do but with Farcaster (and other deso) this is now open to everyone

to do it well though requires handling data at a level beyond what most are familiar with

those that figure it out though will find massive success

what we're working on to make frames better rn:

- rebranding from Frames -> Mini Apps
- a new, llm friendly standalone docs site
- rethinking developer tooling from the ground up
- a 1.0 of the frames-sdk with improvements to type-safety, error handling, security, and hooks for better debugging
- new APIs for viewing and swapping tokens, composing casts
- continued improvement to Explore and Rewards
people spend too much money on:
- cars
- fine dining
- speculation

and not enough on:
- bed sheets
- groceries (you can literally just eat buttered ikura toast whenever you want)
- socks

<quote copy pasta with your own>
that as soon as the first $500 hits your bank account that isn't needed for rent you should be buying the finest bed sheets you can find

Frame pattern language: personality quiz

- no answering questions, instead analyze public social data
- create a nice visual artifact to mint
- shows you where you stand relative to your social connections
- personalized share mechanic to go viral
can confirm

3 hours after you wake up is the optimal time to eat desserts

after dinner is the worst

i’m talking pleasure dimension here but conveniently aligned w health one as well
Frames sparked a ton of creativity and showcased what a composable social feed could look like. Frames v2 were a completely new standard that combined in feed interactivity with fully-fledged web applications.

The term itself has become confusing since it refers to multiple things within Farcaster. It is also unrecognizable to developers outside the ecosystem.

One idea is to Frames -> Mini Apps. This will reduce term confusion and make it legible to huge ecosystem of developers working on applications in ecosystems like Telegram and World.

What say you?
We're going to be working on Frames docs this week. To start, our README files in on GitHub got some love.

If you haven't already go Star this repo!

One small but significant change is we enabled the Discussion feature on GH — we've seen these used to great effect in other projects as they naturally lead to discoverable content on support, best practices, and design rationales.

For fast and casual conversations the developer chat is a good option, but for longer form dialog Discussions is a great option.

I have some absolutely cracked frame debugger ideas

terminal multiplexers more real estate than 6 with none of the distraction or neck angles
factors impacting the quality of my beer drinking experience ranked

1. am I outside
2. how hot it is outside
3. how cold the beer is
4. who I am with
5. am I in water
6. is there good music playing
7. is the music being played live
8. how thirsty am I
9. am I fishing
10. quality of the beer
the mid curve meme is surprisingly useful for me

whenever i have clever idea that feels slightly awkward or forced a little voice pops into my head suggesting i’m probably midcurving it and there’s a simpler solution

and most of the time it’s right
i watched severance tonight and the first thing that popped into
my head when it was over was the realization that traditional row level locking could be paired with serializable snapshot isolation to increase write throughput in situations where high contention on a specific rows causes frequent rollbacks
