Public profile

What this surface is

Public profile is the community-facing view of a Pegasus account. It shows what the user has chosen to make public: a hero block, headline KPIs (collection size, active deck count — only those the user opted to expose), and a public deck grid. Anything not explicitly opted-in is hidden — privacy is opt-in, not opt-out.

Where to find it in the app

Public profiles live at /u/<username>. Reachable from:

• The account-settings privacy section (own profile preview)
• A shared link (the user explicitly shared their profile)
• A public deck’s “author” chip

The default public-profile layout when the user has opted in to all sections.

Layout

Region	Purpose
Hero	Avatar, display name, joined date, tag chips
KPI tiles	Three top-line public KPIs
Public decks grid	Decks the user marked public
About / bio	Optional free-form text
Empty-section behaviour	Sections without data are HIDDEN, not shown empty

The “sections without data are hidden, not faked” rule is load-bearing for the community surface — empty-state decks or zero-KPI tiles would make public profiles look abandoned even when they’re just new.

Hero block

Field	Type	Notes
Avatar	image	User-uploaded or default
Display name	text	May differ from username
Username	text	URL-safe handle
Joined date	datetime	When the account was created
Tags	chip list	Self-selected — favorite format, role tags

Public KPI tiles

KPI	Definition	Opt-in default
Collection size	Unique cards public ≥0	off
Active decks	Count of decks marked public	off
Public combos	Combos contributed (community-source link)	off

Each KPI is opt-in via Account settings privacy.

Public deck grid

Decks marked public appear here. Each tile shows:

Field	Type
Deck name	text
Format	tag
Public readiness shape	derived (no card list exposed unless user shares the full deck)
Last updated	datetime
”View deck” CTA	link (opens the public deck detail)

Public deck detail can include the full card list OR just the analysis summary — controlled per-deck.

Privacy controls (lives in Account settings)

Setting	Default	Effect
Profile visibility	Public	Off = profile returns 404 to non-self viewers
KPI tiles	Off per KPI	Each KPI opt-in individually
Deck visibility	Per-deck (default Private)	Deck-by-deck toggle
Inventory visibility	Off (Private)	Inventory never appears on profile when off
Show “joined” date	On
Allow profile link sharing	On	When off, /u/<username> returns 404

States and badges

Badge	Meaning
”Verified contributor”	User contributed verified combos / decks (community-curation)
“New”	Joined <30 days ago
”Empty profile”	Visited own profile with everything private — prompts to opt-in
404	Username not found OR profile-visibility disabled

Interactions

• Visit /u/<username> → loads the profile (or 404 if private)
• Click a public deck tile → opens the public deck view
• Click a KPI tile → drills into the underlying public list
• “Share profile” button (own profile) → copies link, with current privacy state shown

Edge cases

Attenzione

• All sections private — own profile preview shows the empty layout with prompts to opt-in; non-self viewers get a 404.
• Deck marked public but inventory private — the public deck view shows the card list but NOT availability flags (those would leak inventory state).
• Self-viewer always sees public-side data even when settings change — the preview is “what other people see,” not a private view.
• Profile link sharing disabled but a user still has the URL — /u/<username> returns 404 regardless of who’s asking.
