another interesting thing to think about is media type wrt handling the URI. Would be cool to optionally encode this in someway into the link. So for example if you used multiple apps `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8?type=video` -> @lenstube `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8?type=audio` -> amnisiac `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8?type=image` -> @lenstaxyz.lens `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8?type=stream` -> lenstube (future) or @letsrally.lens `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8?type=nft` -> @lensport.lens And then have a default app `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8?type=text` -> @lenster.lens @orbapp.lens `lens://0xe7a6-0x1a8` -> @lenster.lens @orbapp.lens Would also be cool to have handling for profiles. One idea would be to use a resolver like ENS. So you could add a `lens` text record for your ens name that resolves to your preferred display of your profile. maybe @erikamoji wants lens://erikamoji to automatically resolve to her lenstube profile page to highlight her travel videos and @gotenks.lens wants lens://gotenks to resolve to their lensta shitpostings and @stani.lens wants lens://stani to resolve to his lenster profile page and @roadwaves.lens @emptybrother7.lens wants to highlight their music posts by resolving lens://roadwaves and lens://emptybrother7 to their amnisiac profile and @nader wants lens://nader to resolve to a future long-form lens app to highlight his awesome tutorials
I like the basic concept of using post id as the URI. I'm wondering what needs to be done (if anything) for these types of links to prompt the user on mobile, or even desktop, to choose which app to use. Similar to mail and wallet prompt links. Would be awesome if this is all that's needed and the protocol alone is enough for that prompt.
With the latest update to @buttrfly.lens, post and profile links to Lenster/orb/... like the ones you included in your post will open directly in Buttrfly 😉
Really interested to see how this plays out. I don't think the incentives for apps are in favor of adopting this, however it's obviously better for users. I can imagine a scenario where the early apps adopt it but then a brand new app with a killer feature breaks it, similar to how TikTok branded all their videos. Either way I'd love to see this implemented!
Awesome @lloyd.lens thanks so much for pushing this further along. Great insight and diagram!
I love seeing these ideas solved by the community and not us! The future of social is open and solvable by all! Keep it up guys 💪
Woah i love this diagram ! This is cool
Great observation. 👀
+1. worth giving a shot as apps are generally already doing link transforms when rendering the posts. twitter does similar and has done for quite some time.
Lens dev should take a look at this, Thank you bro.
This is great, i will love for this to happen
hmmm nice
good roadmap sir 🙂
go ahead
Seems logical for a more pleasant Ux. Great work !
gigabrain stuff
