Feature Request: Choose a notebook that is embedded at the top of my profile.

Open triptych opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When someone visits my public profile, I can optionally choose a notebook ( created by me, of course ) to exist embedded at the top of my profile. Just this simple feature would vastly improve the capabilities of Observable profiles, as well as highlight an excellent use of the embedding feature for notebooks. Win-win!

Describe the solution you'd like I go to a notebook that I've determined I want to have as my "profile" notebook. I go to that notebook and go to "settings"

On that list I see "Pin notebook to profile".

If I have not pinned a notebook before - it embeds this notebook at the top of my public profile in a constrained view. If I have pinned a notebook before I get a warning "Replace existing Pinned Notebook? (notebook name) Y/N?" If I cancel, I keep the existing Pinned Notebook, If I click Replace then the new notebook will show up in that location on my profile.

Describe alternatives you've considered There's no way to embed a notebook on your profile now, so all you could do is point folks to another url which might provide this feature.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

  • Github does this now. https://github.blog/2016-06-16-pin-repositories-to-your-github-profile/
  • Glitch allows for multiple pinned projects on your profile ( but just cards pointing to the project )

+1, my public notebooks are mostly scribbles, I'd like to be able to highlight a handful of more approachable ones for a Pinned section of my profile, just as in Pinned Repositories on GitHub profile

Within Collections, it looks like we can create an ordering for users : even this would be an improvement for the profile page. But simple Pinning is better imo.

+1 for the same reasons as @declann
