Welcome to the 11 new people who joined the onchain letters community since Sunday! I'm thankful for all 101 of you (wooo 3 digits lfg!) and I hope everyone is having a great start to the week 🔥 If you're enjoying my writing, please share Onchain Letters with your friends in Crypto 🤝SubscribeA letter to Farcaster FramesUnless you were in the woods without access to internet this past weekend, you've probably seen the next big thing in crypto: frames. Since the Farcaster team launched the feature Friday afternoon, that's all anyone can talk about. I tweeted this out at midnight on Friday and I think it pretty much sums up my weekend. Yash Bora @yb_effect I've had the most fun in crypto tonight since Loot launched in August 2021. If you're not spending time on @farcaster_xyz you're missing out 32 11:59 PM • Jan 26, 2024 It was incredible to see how the community rallied around a new primitive in such a short period of time. I mean, just look at this video of a Frames hackathon on Sunday that the Variant team hosted in NYC: ~50 builders excited to crank out creative ideas on how to best utilize frame functionality. See if you can spot me 👀 Now, I could go on and on about all the different frames that were shipped over the last few days and how exciting of a time it was but it's probably best to go check out Farcaster yourself and feel the ~vibes~. Instead, in this letter, I'm going to provide some historical context that helped me create a framework on...frames.I wanted to be creative with today's post. I'm going to be publishing this onchain letter as a frame on Farcaster! So, instead of the regular essay format, it reads more like a story book. You can either read the screenshots below or check out the frame directly.FarcasterYB on WarpcastPresenting my framebook! I put together a short story covering the evolution of interactive social feeds. It helped me better understand the importance of Frame Friday. As Dan said, "what's old is new". Click through the frame to read the book. Hope you enjoy :) https://frame-book.vercel.app/Let's dive in 🚀 We'll be back to the regular text based Onchain Letters this Friday. Let me know what you thought of this Framebook! - YBSubscribe
