Farcaster’s photo UX is now better than X. Just swipe.

it’s not. the embed swiping looks cool and slick, but it’s actually worse ux.

- separate images and miniapps/links vertically.
- for images, if more than 1, then display in a 2x2 grid.
- for mini apps, if more than 1, then display in the row format that doesn't take too much vertical space.
- not too sure about videos. worth trying including them with images or separate, and see which feels better.

tradeoff is more space vertically per post. but better overall ux imo.

what would be a better UX?
What we had before just vertically stacked in the cast? Something else?

- all embeds aren't glanceable/pressable quickly. this is more of a problem when there's mixed embeds like an image and a miniapp.

- i'm personally not a fan of mixed horizontal swiping and vertical swiping in a primary feed. it feels off and feels like it takes more energy. i think it works well for instagram because that's primarily an image consumption app and typically all images in a post have the same theme so the flow is different than in a twitter like app.

images/gifs are cropped awkwardly in main casts and when QC'd

gif playback isn't reliably smooth (know there are size limitation but hard to actually figure out more often than not)
