## What it is [#what-it-is]

A slug is the short, readable part of an Aden address: `aden.space/@orangepurple`.
Aden builds one from the name you type. "Orange Purple" becomes `orangepurple`:
lowercase letters and digits only, no spaces and no dashes between words.

## Using it [#using-it]

Type the name and the slug fills in as you go. Edit it whenever you want a
different address: a dash is allowed if you type one, it just is not added for
you. Free teams get six random characters behind a dash (`orangepurple-a3f9k2`)
so the clean address stays open for a paid plan.
