Your maker profile

All topics

Getting started

Updated 11 September 2026

Your maker page is public at /{username}. Edit it from Dashboard, Profile, or Settings → Profile.

What you can set

  • Photo and cover
  • Name (1–80 characters)
  • Handle (your public /{username} URL). If it is taken, we suggest available ones.
  • Headline (optional, up to 120 characters)
  • Bio (optional, up to 1,000 characters)
  • Location, website, and a public calendar link
  • Up to 12 skill chips
  • Available handles — X, GitHub, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Wellfound, Dribbble, Behance, Figma, Medium, Substack, Hashnode, Dev.to, Product Hunt, LeetCode, CodePen, Stack Overflow, GitLab, Kaggle, Hugging Face, Discord, Telegram, Twitch
  • Job preferences — looking status, roles, type, workplace, locations, notice, private salary, industries, company size

The dashboard is your public page plus a studio rail: settings, analytics, inbox, saved, and the live profile. Work shows your real GitHub contribution year and public repositories (from the GitHub handle on your profile), then My projects — launches on the Monday board. Add the handle from Edit profile.

Do’s

  • Use a name people can address you by. A legal name is fine; a clear founder name is fine.
  • Write a short bio about what you build — not a keyword dump.
  • Keep the profile about you. A company logo as an “individual” is the wrong place; list the product instead.

Don’ts

  • Obscene photos or display names — those can get the account suspended.
  • Stuffing the name field with URLs, emojis-as-a-brand, or “follow for tips”.
  • Pretending to be another maker.

Other people can follow you, open your profile (that counts as a profile view in Analytics), and message you from Inbox.
