• Your builder profile is private by default. If you turn on Public profile (at sign-up or in Settings), your name, username, photo, headline, bio, skills, what you are looking for, country and the links you added become visible at shiptogether.dev/builders/your-username.

• Only signed-in members can connect with you, message you, upvote or comment on projects, or contact a seller.
