Public user profiles allow Amplenote users to see what their fellow users are getting done. Since we aspire to build the most effective software for short-term and long-term goals, a lot of ambitious people end up using Amplenote. It's fascinating to learn how much they get done with it. In this sense, the Amplenote public profile gallery serves as a destination to get inspired by what is possible by getting organized and staying focused.
linkProfile benefits & uses
But that's only one of the ways that you can leverage a public profile to your benefit. Here are a few others:
linkFind collaborators
Profile gallery makes it easy to spot those open to collaboration
The most satisfying goals are often collaborative ones. It's more fun to work on a project when you have someone to discuss it with. And two people can get more done than one.
linkGet compensated for building plugins
If you have published a plugin from the account whose profile is being edited, than toward the bottom of the profile editing page, you can find an input field where you can paste in a URL that will be added to your plugin page, allowing plugin users to support your development efforts:
After you have published a public plugin, edit your profile and scroll to the bottom to find the field for specifying a supporter link
After review by the Amplenote support team, your "developer support" link will be shown prominently when people visit your plugins:
A "Support this developer" link from plugin page
If Amplenote support staff finds a developer attempting to use a URL for a site that uses dark patterns, phishing, or other user-unfriendly behavior, the Amplenote user account will be suspended.
linkEarn votes for supporter voting board
If you enter a testimonial that Amplenote can use to promote its product, you will receive an additional vote on the Supporter Voting board.

linkCollect recognition

Badges add visual interest to your profile page and tell a story about your interests and engagement.
linkRead what others are writing
Many Amplenote users are avid writers. There's much to be gleaned from reading and understanding the different subjects that have captivated the minds of ambitious thinkers.
linkLearn how others work
There's no right way to use Amplenote. Some people have thousands of tasks, some have less than 100. Browsing profiles offers an intriguing look into the different styles of productivity that are being experimented with. If a user mentions a tactic that's interesting, you can use the "How best to contact me" response to potentially connect with them and discuss their methods.
linkGet an audience with Amplenote employees
The better we understand our users, the better we can build a product that serves their needs. Since Amplenote employees browse public profiles on a weekly basis, filling out your profile gives us a chance to ensure we're building a product maximally relevant to your needs.
