Right now, bsky.app is the official web client that more or less everyone uses. In the future, hopefully, that may be less true. If I have a user's DID (or handle), do you all have a way in mind that I could get their "preferred" web profile URL?
For now, I can hard-code bsky.app profile URLs, but I'm wondering if there will be a better way in the future.
...or am I thinking about this wrong, and choice of client should be up to the viewing user, in the spirit of "user agent," not the user being viewed? Which would make sense...except then we still wouldn't have guidance for people making non-client or non-user-facing tools that need to expose some web profile URL for a given user. Can those kinds of tools do anything better than hard coding bsky.app?
Thanks in advance!
