It is useful for users to express which other social media sites are also them using the rel=“me” atttribute in an hyperlink
Note Twitter and Github “homepage” profile links do this. ObservableHQ website links do not.
A list of which social profiles allow this feature is listed on the relmeauth wiki
http://microformats.org/wiki/RelMeAuth#profile_sites
relmeauth allows a user to delegate an identity check to a 3rd party social identity provider by crawling for double linked rel=“me” links stemming from a users self-nominated homepage (wherever that may be).
Even though ObservableHQ is not an identity provider, its still useful for users to say “I am tomlarkworthy on @obseervable” in a precise way. rel=“me” links are the web way of achieving that, and its more useful if observable profile pages support the outbound links too.
So my suggestion is to either
- add rel=“me” decoration to the existing “websites feature”
- add a checkbox to existing “website feature” to tell observable which websites are homepages (I guess not all)
- add a separate list of homepages which is similar to the list of webpage.
- rename websites to homepages on profile
WDYT?
