Profile page thoughts

Overall it's a really strong page, but I didn't realise that it listed blog posts until I scrolled a loooooooong way down. I realise that this is partly a me problem, but I think (a) it's better to put blog/resources before software and (b) in either case, we need some sort of filtering to only show the most recent/important by default.

Also maybe feels a bit weird to include number of views on this page?

I agree that listing all the software someone has worked on (even if it's one commit), is not ideal. Maybe it's better to let people decide for themselves which software they'd like to feature (just like on GitHub).

Also maybe feels a bit weird to include number of views on this page?

Only videos have views. That's not weird to show, is it?

[hadley]

Something about showing video views feels a bit weird to me. Not sure I can put my finger on why. Maybe it feels a bit boast-y?

And if we're showing views for videos, why not for blog posts too?

[jeroenjanssens]

To clarify, those numbers are the actual views the videos got on YouTube.

@jeroenjanssens yeah I get that. But we also have page views for blog posts from plausible? What makes video views different?

[jeroenjanssens]

You're right, there isn't a meaningful difference. If showing video views feels 'boast-y' and inconsistent, we can hide them on profile pages.
