Your username

Your public address, the 14-day wait between changes, and why the old link stops working the moment you change it.

View as .md

Your username is your address: revquix.com/u/<username>. It is the link you paste into an application, a bio or a message.

Changing it#

You can change it, but not freely.

Changing is never a single click. You type the new name, it is checked as you type, and you confirm in a separate step - because this changes a URL rather than a display setting.

Casing#

Usernames are case-insensitive. Priya and priya are the same name, and nobody else can take the other casing. Your chosen casing is what displays.

That also means you cannot "free up" a name by changing only its capitals.

Choosing one#

  • Something you would say out loud. It goes in applications and conversations.
  • Close to your real name if you are job-hunting. A handle nobody connects to you is a small tax on every introduction.
  • Not tied to a job or a year. priya-at-acme and priya2024 both expire.

If the name you want is taken#

Usernames are not released when an account is deleted, so a free-looking name may be held. There is no waiting list - pick another.
