Post by @stani • Hey
There were some questions back in the days how Lens handles are presented.
Lens Protocol has a built-in concept of Namespaces. Currently there is one can

- this is becoming more complicated each day. I'm an old man and can't keep up anymore.
does this mean that my handle is /lens/punkess/carstenpoetter? 🤔 that doesn't make sense.
did I say that it's complicated? 🤓
- just @ is the best way imo
- @[handle] is deffinitely the way, at least for now. Additional names paces will give more freedom to apps when they decide to create walled gardens, while simplicity is currently the key.
As a best practice, app specific namespaces should be used and recognised only withing that app. Thus, @[handle] would represent .lens namespace universally, while @[handle].[app] would be recognised only in that app's closed garden. Otherwise, any app would have to actively recognize and render all other namespaces, not all apps would act the same, and it would soon be a mess similar to one we now have will groups (which we are about to solve).
Not app specific namespaces is a different topic thou.
Wdyt?
- @handle all the way. Keep it simple. Web2 aps now have names, handle.... Too much
- @ is GOAT
- Just the @lens/handle is the best way imo
The others overcomplicate things. I think that even now on Orb only the handle is seen, and it is much, much better. It didn’t annoy me before either, but I am sure there were some annoyed by it🌹
- Why complicate? @+handle and would be seen as the name the people choose for their profile.
For instance (the other way around) Orb for me now shows the handles, not the profile names and some ppl I don’t their handles, but their profile names.
- @handle is the easiest to use
- I think we are the only one who highlights the handle without any prefix, is this a plus I wonder ..?
- @lens/handle please 😆
- @lens/blackjoker is too native and has been because we are uses to this.
Preferably I think everyone has different opinions for this I would like to see my name as *blackjoker
- @handle
- @riddler is the best way possible!
- @yukifren13 classic and easy
