Public creator profiles at visualseffect.com/u/<handle>. Set yours on /account — pick a handle (3–20 chars, lowercase) and your public generations get a permanent profile page.
Optional bio (200 chars) + website link on your profile. Bio gets pulled into the page's meta description too, so search snippets feel personal.
Branded OG images on every profile — share /u/<handle> on Twitter, LinkedIn, or Slack and the post gets a custom card with your handle + bio + CTA.
Likes (♥) on every share page. Anyone signed in can heart a generation; anonymous viewers click through /sign-up first (with the creator's ref code attached so the like-intent doesn't break referral attribution).
Trending feed on /explore — sort the public gallery by likes desc, surfaces community favorites. Newest stays as the default.
Search on /explore — type a keyword ("portrait", "cyberpunk", "timelapse") and the prompt-text matches filter the feed in 250ms.
@handle credits everywhere: visible in /explore hover labels, on /g/<id> as a pill next to the model badge, and as a 'More from @handle → View profile' link.
Profile share bar (X / LinkedIn / Copy-link) on every /u/<handle> so visitors can re-share with one click.
Like-count badges on every grid card across /explore and profile pages.
First-run StudioWelcome card on /studio — three orientation steps for new signups, dismissable forever.
Sitemap now includes every claimed /u/<handle>, regenerated every 30 minutes.
