Sharing projects, visibility and creator profiles

The difference between private, unlisted and public projects on Codexe, how the gallery and leaderboard work, and what a public creator profile shows.

Three visibility levels

Every project has exactly one visibility setting, and it controls everything about who can reach it.

  • Private - the default. Only you can open it. The share URL returns not-found for everyone else, including people who somehow guess the id.
  • Unlisted - anyone with the link can view it, but it does not appear in the gallery and it is marked noindex, so search engines are asked not to list it. Use this to send work to one person.
  • Public - listed in the gallery, eligible for the leaderboard, and indexable. Use this when you want the project found.
Visibility is per project, not per account. Making one project public does not expose anything else you have built.

What a shared project shows

A public or unlisted project page shows the project name, description, type, the author’s display name, community stats and the full source tree - browsing the code is the point of sharing.

What it never shows:

  • Your email address or any account details.
  • The AI conversation used to build the project.
  • Your token balance, spend or billing information.
  • Any of your other projects that are not public.

The leaderboard

The leaderboard ranks creators by the net community votes across their public projects, with views and project count breaking ties. Only public, finished projects count toward it.

Creator profiles

Publishing a project gives you a public profile at /u/<your-id> showing your display name, your public projects, aggregate stats and any badges you have unlocked. It contains only information derived from public activity.

Profiles with real published work are submitted to search engines; near-empty ones are deliberately excluded, so a profile becomes discoverable once you have published a couple of projects.

Changing your mind

Visibility can be changed at any time. Switching a public project back to private removes it from the gallery and the leaderboard immediately. Search engines that already crawled the public version will drop it on their next visit rather than instantly.
