Farcaster Devs

Saw a few casts grumbling about the next iteration of frames

Clearing up misconceptions:

1. We circulated earlier versions of the public draft with a dozen or teams who are actively building frames.

2. Existing frames will continue to work as is. If people continue to build them and they have meaningful usage, we will support them.

3. Our goal with the changes is to give developers *more* surface area to build better experiences and *more* reliability for one shot actions like transactions (still clunky today).

4. Frames are just links. So other clients can choose to adopt or not and they will start work.

5. Frames are Farcaster primitives not just Warpcast because they contain social context, e.g. a user’s FID

Feedback on the next frames update:

1. We shared drafts with active frame builders.

2. Existing frames will still work.

3. Changes aim to improve developer experiences and transaction reliability.

4. Frames are optional for clients.

5. Frames are Farcaster essentials with social context.
