One frame feedback provocation: I hear both "frames are too ephemeral and should be more like installed apps" and "frames are too constrained to build full scale apps." If frames were more permanent, would you be exposing users to a *worse* overall experience? 🤔 🤔 🤔

The only thing preventing persistence in a frame is the developer? Or does it mean the location and user behavior is ephemeral?

Frames are kinda gimmicky to me. So far they don’t contribute anything major to the platform. Sometimes a frame is used to show good information, but isn’t necessarily better than a screenshot, or a link to the article where I don’t have to keep clicking a ‘next’ button. I also like going to zora for a mint.

i don't think frames should act as high-interactive apps. i believe their mission is to provide some "playful" preview to an website/app, possibly providing most common simple use-cases via frame, but definitely not some "games" or highly interactive experiences. the latter has to be reconsidered from the ground up.

i think it's fine as is with image as a medium for content delivery. the main issue the cost to reward ratio. it's cumbersome to build these things just to display a set of images on the feed (that goes away after a while). i think the issue is in the development part, there needs to be more really easy-tools-to-build frames - i'm working on this now. open a builder tool, do your thing for 2 minutes, done. cast the frame and forget about it.

People want streamlined app experiences. Same UI elements, flows and feedback they get from all the other apps. If one tries to do something different they think it's weird. That's why people like iOS so much because Devs tend to build their apps around iOS flows. Just my two cents.

I am pretty happy with frames in DCs, bookmarks, and pinned posts

yes, the permanence will destroy the “interactive feed” frames started with we already have installable frames with actions, maybe this “placement” experiment approach should be explored on actions than frames

I'd fix one by giving users an easy way to bookmark frames and view the bookmarks, and the second by giving us up to 8 buttons with greater config options for positioning. If you really want to go nuts, let us put an HTML file where the image is.

I understand why the buttons are the way they are, but ultimately that's a big tradeoff versus the buttons you get in native app development

Don’t think I actually understand what an installed version frames would look like. Doesn’t seem useful at first glance. I’d vote for minor input changes if anything. 1-2 Drop-downs instead of text input. Is the idea that installed frames would allow more inputs? Clicking on the frame, dropdowns, etc?

Frames are fucking lit, but nobody who has any business being creative is making them because it’s too hard.
