FAQ
Mostly: what does each sharing switch actually show? Everything below matches what the code does, not what we hope it does.
What does “Make my profile public” show?
It creates your page at texttcg.com/u/your-username. On its own it shows: your username, any social handles you chose to fill in on your profile (X, Instagram, TikTok), and a couple of counts. No cards, no activity — the switches below control those separately.
What does “Show my collection” show?
The cards you own: their names and official catalog art only. Your own photos are never shown to anyone — the public page doesn't even load them. While this switch is off, visitors read "this collector keeps their cards private."
What does “Show my activity” show?
A feed of added and sold events: the card's name and the date. That's the entire event — the data structure behind it has no price field, so amounts can't appear there even by accident.
What stays private no matter what I toggle?
Your photos, what you paid (cost basis), what you sold for, your notes, your tags, your phone number, your email, and your message history. None of these are ever rendered on a public page.
What are tags and notes for?
Personal organization. Tags are little badges you put on cards ("grail", "for trade"…) and can filter your portfolio by; notes are free text on a card's page. Both are visible only to you.
What's free and what needs a subscription?
Two things need a subscription: photo scans — texting a picture and having it identified automatically — and agent access(managing your collection through your own AI agent). Everything else is currently free for everyone: logging by text ("just bought OP01-001", names, nicknames), the portfolio table and its quick add-row, adding by search, CSV import and export, tags, notes, and selling by text or card link.
Who can see my photos?
You, and texttcg's admins/engineering team (for support and moderation — like investigating a scan you reported as wrong). That's the whole list. Photos are stored privately and served through authenticated, time-limited links — never shown to other users, never on public profiles, not reachable at a plain URL. You can delete any photo permanently from its card's page ("delete my photo"); the entry keeps its catalog art.
Something else? The support page has email and Discord.
