frames-v2

Many mini apps I love (not calling anyone out) do not make very compelling use of their embed image: they are often a large, static, centered logo with text.

These eat up vertical space in feed and get tiring when they are repeated. If your app goes viral with an embed like this, users are more likely to get annoyed and tune it out.

If you could opt in to a more compact embed format, would you use it? What would it need to provide to be compelling?

I think the benefit of a normal 1.91:1 aspect ratio embed image(like framesv1) is that because it’s also used across other platforms, developers are more likely to have a banner that works there— I also think it looks a little nicer

in our opinion 1.91:1 was too short to create good frame UIs. those who really use the real estate wanted more space. and ideally you're not copying some off the shelf banner, but thinking about how to create a compelling embed tailored to the Farcaster feed.

fine for those who want to spray and pray lowest common denominator embeds, but it's not going to create a good frame UI.
