Farcaster Frames are an exciting new feature of the Farcaster protocol that let developers quickly build mini apps with a few lines of code. Frames extend the OpenGraph meta tags, which are typically used to serve rich media embeds when pasting a link. Frames add interactive buttons which, when clicked inside of a compatible Farcaster client like Warpcast or Supercast, let the server know which Farcaster user clicked the button. The Frame's image can be updated in response. In short, developers can build polls, NFT claims, airdrop slot machines, games, and more, all with the very simple primitives provided by Frames.

On today's show, I'm joined by some of the first developers building Farcaster Frames. My guests today are Cassie Heart, Farcaster dev and founder of Quilibrium, Christopher Wallace, founder of Unofficial, and Jacopo Ranalli, founder of Deframe and Slice. We discuss the technical mechanisms and product possibilities for Frames, and the guests field questions from members of the community. This episode was recorded on February 2, 2024.

If you're interested in Farcaster Frames, consumer crypto UX, open web standards, and exciting moments in social software design, this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy the show.
