Farcaster Frames Beginner's Guide - Next.js & Local Testing

We take a look at what Farcaster frames are and how they work in the Warpcast social media app. We'll first compare an open graph meta tag to a farcaster frame meta tag and see how they are related. Using Next.js, we'll build the backend api for our frame and use local dev tools to test our frame's look and functionality. Once we publish our website to Vercel, we can generate open graph images on the fly, to make our Farcaster frames more dynamic.
