We just launched a fun little feature: heia.me/your_name
This link leads to your HeiaHeia profile page: booking your own username creates a public profile page, which anybody can see. If you are logged in into HeiaHeia, clicking such a link shows the profile of a user, according to the user’s privacy settings.
Public profile pages are not a new feature as such: we’re making them more fun and useful with short heia.me links – and by adding your yearly achievements on the page.
Example of a public profile page:
How do you get one: simply go to HeiaHeia’s settings to book your own link and username!
Settings: write your name or nick in the text field & click save:
If you don’t want a username and a public profile page, you’ll still have a short link heia.me/1234567890 at use, where the number is your HeiaHeia ID (you can see it in the URL of your profile page).
So what do you do with a shortlink?
- Short links like heia.me are especially handy in Twitter sharing. If you share achievements on Twitter, these are used by default
- heia.me/your_name is a simple “calling card” in HeiaHeia: if you want friends to easily find you (e.g. many people with same name), just give them the link
We’d love to hear your comments and ideas about this!

Nice feature! But why is it not possible to have this new public profile page and still share training information with only friends in HeiaHeia? Some of us would not like to share every detail of every training log with everyone. The training summary on the public profile page is fine because it doesn’t publish the texts of the training log.
