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.
