Imagine a world in which every website could be just a link preview.

Do I smell irony? I mean there are real cases where the UX already works: in the GMail listing you can directly accept/decline calendar invites. I think that‘s useful.

Inbox did a lot of this and it was really badass - I loved it. Then Google killed it. Why?

Oh man, you talk out of my soul. I miss Inbox so much!

Started as irony but I kinda think it's a good idea now, if it's an open protocol.

I can't imagine it. Something like an Atlas of websites or how?

wait until they discover iframes

In any case, it is not stupid, it is cool, but I think it exerts a big centralizing force on their network (they don't care) because now to build a Farcaster client you have to implement this weird gimmick.

It's also not a revolution or even a new technology, it's just a hack on top of browser engines that has very little to do with Farcaster itself, and probably far from the best that could have been made.

Another thing that falls in the same category are "recursive inscriptions" from Ordinals: you use JavaScript code that is inscribed to fetch other inscriptions from an explorer? A cool hack, but it has nothing to do with the Ordinals protocol even.
