Claim or change your public slug
Choose a readable BaseStack URL and understand what happens when a slug changes.
Overview
A slug is the readable part of your public BaseStack URL. Choose something short, memorable, and easy to type.
Good slug examples
Key points
- Your name or professional handle.
- Your name plus role if the plain name is unavailable.
- A studio, project, or brand name you control.
- Lowercase words separated by hyphens.
Before changing a slug
Key points
- Update links you already shared.
- Check job applications, social profiles, and email signatures.
- Open the new public URL after publishing.
- Use a custom domain on a paid plan if you want a stable external URL.
Old links may stop working
Changing a slug can make previously shared BaseStack links unavailable. Use one public URL consistently once you start sharing widely.
