@poaplace.lens x @lensprotocol #POAP for the participants of our very first event on Lens 💜💚
A few months ago @punkess.lens and @pedrovilela.lens and I created a Discord with the purposes of curating/fostering app ideas and support for devs who are interested in building on Lens but aren't quite sure where to start. We haven't done anything with it yet and I haven't talked to either of them about this, but I would like to see if I can get some measurable public feedback first.
Below is the type of content and discussions I envision having on our server. If this resonates with or interests you please collect this post as a sign of interest in joining our Discord server:

Thinking of Apps as Components is the easiest way to get started. With Lens everyone is using the same shared database. So any app (or its data) can become a feature or component of other apps. Personally I think the absolute easiest place to start is with an app that rates a user's preference. Let users rate movies, food, coffee, etc. These types of apps can be used for other apps which sort by these ratings. Here's a quick list of example "rating" apps:
Foodie Favorites: Gastronomy
Fashionista: Fashion
Rate My Recipe: Cooking
Vacation Vibes: Travel
Pet Parade: Pets
Movie Maven: Movies
Music Maestro: Music
Bookworm's Bounty: Literature
Gaming Guru: Gaming
Art Admirer: Art
Interior Inspirations: Interior Design
Tech Trends: Technology
Fitness Fanatics: Fitness
Coffee Connoisseur: Coffee
Wine Wisdom: Wine
Eco Evaluator: Sustainability
Sports Spectator: Sports
Learning Ladder: Education
Event Explorer: Events
Natural Wonders: Outdoors
Dating apps are always my go-to example for combining the above data, but here's another one: Dinner & A Movie -- This app could take the data from Movie Maven and Foodie Favorites and feed it to an AI model which can then figure out a suitable dinner and movie pairing, all based on the user's preferences from the previous apps.** Then Dinner & A Movie data could be used in a photography app that challenges people to post photos of the dinner they made with the movie that was recommended.
Start small and focused. Developing Apps as Components allows for faster growth in a shared environment, whether it's GitHub or Lens.

Introducing LIP-3: Lens Share. A new standard to share Lens profiles and publications across the evergrowing Lens ecosystem.
The number of apps flourishing within the Lens ecosystem has highlighted a need for URL sharing across platforms in a manner that's app-agnostic. Users should be free to engage with their app of choice. However, there can be situations where the users content might not be accessible on their preferred Lens app. That's why we've looked into augmenting the user experience.
The solution? A standardized link-sharing strategy and an app-agnostic interface. This promises smoother integration across apps within the Lens ecosystem, all the while preserving the credit to the original app.
Meet Lens Share Link — a universal URL that's capable of sharing a profile or publication.
Lens apps should adopt a common link format such as:
- share.lens.xyz/u/<handle> for Profiles
- share.lens.xyz/p/<publication-id> for Publications
We welcome all Lens app builders to contribute. Submit a PR against our repository with the app manifest(s) you'd like to see listed.
This is just the beginning of app-agnostic sharing on Lens. Stay tuned for more updates.
