# Everything.dev | A framework for attestations, “frames”, & social playground | Call for Discussion (posted via [Build DAO Gateway](https://nearbuilders.org/feed?tab=idea)) **Everything.dev is one of the most underrated public goods, as an open source playground + tooling for BOS, the social graph, and standardizing attestations. ** Over the past year it’s been pretty hard for me to understand the power of the social.near contract, [everything.dev](everything.dev). I kept asking what it do and @james.near and @efiz.near kept telling me “everything” and it just confused me even more. But now I’m getting it, especially with the emergence of [EAS](https://attest.sh/). It’s a framework for registering any type of reusable schema, combined with a playground for decentralized front ends. Additionally with [post embeds](https://youtu.be/YHvUE34WI5A?si=08bqlDCMiuRa16EX), its farcaster frames before [farcaster frames](https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/what-is-farcaster/frames), enabling mini app functionality within social feeds. And everything.dev (f[ork here](https://github.com/near-everything/viewer/)) is the portal to creating anything and everything built on things made by those types. So the real question is why aren’t people making types, using existing types, and creating things? What can we even create? Why aren’t people building embedded feeds? **My answer to this is: UX, marketing + awareness, concerted development support, and adoption across gateways. ** # How Do We Scale Everything.dev Everything.dev is one of the most underrated public goods in the NEAR ecosystem, and we are losing voice of share from other ecosystems for what we already have. This is the case for EAS, Frames, and Web3Socials. We see everything.dev laying the ground for some pretty neat things like Canvas, Livepeer integration and custom VM integration. * Double down on post embeds with custom themes * Expand The creation + discovery of types and things for schemas for attestations & bootstrapping application backends * Consolidate designs and offering * Bring other use cases to build on this and exemplify * Use as primitive to build essential ecosystem use cases; rich feeds for social clients, tracking & impact tools In other words: * Bring users: creating thing types and attestations * Bring social element: interactive embed posts, NFT drops, and work with builders to create rich communities with different embed use cases * Developer: schelling point for new features, gateway to social VM # # Use Cases A section for documenting some initial use cases.
