People, profiles and notifications

Your profile, and where it lives

There is no separate "profile page" inside the app. Your identity block is the top of the Account tab — on a phone it is the header the Account card slides over, and on a desktop it is the same pieces laid out in a column.

Top to bottom, the header shows:

• Your background photo, if you set one, with a soft dark wash over it so text stays readable.
• Your avatar in a ring coloured by your plan. It is also a button — tapping it opens Edit profile.
• Your display name and your badge, then your bio, clamped to two lines.
• Your @handle row, with three small buttons next to it.
• Three counts: Pages · Enchanted · Enchanting.
• Three buttons: Edit profile, Share and Log out.

The three counts

Enchanted is how many people follow you. Enchanting is how many people you follow. Pages is your main page plus any sub-pages.

If the counts can't be fetched the row shows a dash rather than a zero. That is deliberate: a confident 0 would tell you that you had lost all your followers when in fact the request failed.

The buttons next to your handle

Your handle itself is not editable here — see below. The two buttons are:

• Show your card — on a phone this reveals your membership card under the header. On a desktop the card is already on screen, so the same button opens the full-screen presentation instead.
• Open your page — opens your live page in the in-app viewer. Hold ⌘, Ctrl, Shift or Alt while you click to get a real new tab.

Logging out

On a phone, Log out asks first: Log out? — "Your page, posts and shop stay exactly as they are. You'll just need to sign in again to get back to them." It is not styled as a destructive action, because signing out destroys nothing.

Editing your profile

1. 1Open the Account tab.
2. 2Tap your avatar, or the Edit profile button.
3. 3Change anything you like — nothing is committed while you work.
4. 4Tap Save. You get a Profile saved toast and the sheet closes.

Profile photo

Tap the avatar inside the sheet (it carries a small camera chip). Pick one image file. Every photo goes through the full image editor — crop, rotate, filters — locked to a square, because the avatar and the background are both square. The saved file is resized so its longest side is 1600px and stored as a JPEG.

Once you have a photo, a small Remove photo button appears under it. Saving with no photo clears it, and you fall back to a letter avatar: the first letter of your name on a plain disc.

Profile background

Under Profile background you get a preview strip, an Add photo button that becomes Change once set, and a bin button to clear it. Same editor, same square lock, same upload. The background shows on your Account header, on your public profile page, and on your profile as other people see it.

Display name and bio

Display name takes up to 50 characters. Leave it empty and your handle is used instead. Bio takes up to 160, with a live counter under the field. Both fields have an emoji button that inserts at your cursor and then re-trims to the limit.

Write my bio

In the Bio heading row there is a Write my bio pill with its price printed beside it — 0.2 credits. Tapping it opens a panel inside the sheet, never a floating popover.

It needs something to work from. With no typed bio and an empty page the button is disabled and the note reads "Add a widget to your page, or write a few words here first." When it runs you get two options — a short one that fits the field, and a longer one meant for a profile widget. Picking the long one trims it and tells you so.

Tier badge

The Tier badge section appears on paid plans only Élégante — free accounts never see it. It is a grid of 24 glyphs; the one you pick is drawn next to your name everywhere on Enchant.ee. Picking Creator (the sparkle) means "no glyph", which is the default.

The glyphs, by the name each one carries:

Creator · Checkmark · Illustrator · Photographer · Developer · Musician · Podcaster · Designer · Artist · Business · Educator · Filmmaker · Gamer · Fitness · Stylist · Maker · Chef · Seller · Marketer · Analyst · Traveler · Writer · Health · Scientist.

It is also the "profession" line printed on your membership card, if you choose to show it.

Your public profile page

The Share button points at enchant.ee/profile/yourname: a page anyone can open without an account, and without the app. It shows your background, your avatar in its plan ring, your name and badge, your handle, your bio, three lower-case counts — enchanted, enchanting, pages — and your 12 most recent posts.

Two links sit on it: View page goes to your actual page, and Open in app goes to Enchant.ee. If you have no posts yet the section reads No posts yet.

It is cached for five minutes, so a change to your name or bio can take a few minutes to appear there even though the app already shows it. Suspended and deleted accounts return a not-found page.

Your handle is permanent

The rules: 3 to 20 characters, lower-case letters, numbers and underscores only. A list of reserved words is blocked — things like admin, profile, shop, marketplace and dashboard, plus every template name.

Your display name is not your handle, and you can change that as often as you want. Plans and limits has the rest of the account-level rules.

Your membership card

Every account has a card: a physical-looking object carrying your plan, your name, your handle and a QR code to your page. It is the thing to hold up at an event, or screenshot.

1. 1On a phone: from the Account tab, drag the card sheet down past its resting place — or tap Show your card next to your handle.
2. 2On a desktop: it is already there, in a section headed Your card.
3. 3Tap the card to present it full screen. It turns ninety degrees so it reads large.
4. 4Tap it again to flip to the scan side. The caption under it tells you which way you are going.
5. 5Use the enchant.ee/yourname button underneath to copy the link, or the share button next to it to hand it off.

On a desktop the card tilts a little under your pointer. Esc or a tap on the backdrop closes the presentation. Unless you are on the top plan there is an Upgrade material link below the card.

Edit your card

The pencil at the card's bottom-right (Edit card) opens Edit your card. Changes apply to the previews as you make them and save straight away; Done closes the sheet. This button only ever appears on your own card — you can look at someone else's card, never edit it.

The Profession row only shows up once you have picked a glyph other than Creator.

Finishes

The front prints the Enchant.ee mark, your plan name, your display name, your handle and a QR code. On a paid plan the holographic seal carries your badge glyph; on the free plan it carries the embossed mark instead. The back prints Scan to visit, your signature line and a large QR. The QR always sits on a white stamp so it scans on every material.

Following someone — Enchantée

Following is called Enchantée. You'll find the button in three places, and they use slightly different words once you've followed:

The label flips and the count rolls up straight away. If the server refuses, the button rolls back and you get Couldn't update — try again.

From a public page's floating ball you get a confirmation chip instead: Enchantée ✨ You're now enchanted with this page. with a confetti burst, and Un-enchanted. No hard feelings. when you undo it. Visitors who aren't signed in can follow from a public page; inside the app you need an account.

What following gets you

• Their posts appear in your Home feed.
• They appear in your Enchantéers row when they post or update a page.
• You get a posted an update notification when they publish a page change. Your inbox collapses those per creator, so someone who saves ten times leaves one row carrying the count.

What it doesn't do

• You cannot follow yourself — the app tells you it's your own page.
• If either of you has blocked the other, nothing happens at all.
• Following is stored per page. Following someone's /shop page from its own floating ball is a separate connection from following their main page — but every count and every "am I following them" check is per person, so you only ever see one state.
• Following and unfollowing very fast is briefly rate-limited. Wait a moment and it works again.

Enchanted by and Enchanting lists

Two lists: the people who follow you, and the people you follow.

1. 1Open Account → Settings.
2. 2Find the Your network card — "Who enchants you, and who you enchant."
3. 3Tap Enchanted by or Enchanting.
4. 4Tap any row to close the list and open that person's profile.

Each row is an avatar, a display name, a purple verified seal if they have one, and their handle.

Limits worth knowing

• A list loads up to 200 rows, newest first, and there is no pagination — a very popular account will not show everyone.
• Visitors who followed you without an account are never listed, because there is no profile to open. They still count toward the number, so the list can look shorter than the count.
• Suspended and deleted accounts are left out, and so is anyone in a block relationship with you.
• These rows show the verified seal only — never the paid-plan glyph.

The Enchantéers row

Above your Home feed there is a horizontal row of rounded-square tiles. That is the Enchantéers row: the people you follow who did something in the last day.

Updates — what the row shows by default

• One tile per person you follow who posted, or edited a published page, in the last 24 hours. Up to 20 people.
• A purple corner badge carries how many things they did. More than nine reads 9+.
• The tile's ring is their plan colour. Once you've caught up with someone the tile dims and loses its colour.
• Tapping a tile jumps to the Enchantée tab with that person's page first, then everyone else you haven't seen. The tile dims where it stands — it deliberately does not re-sort under your finger.

The count is posts plus page edits, and a page edit counts once per page no matter how many times it was saved. Changes to an unpublished draft never badge. "Seen" is a high-water mark rather than a flag, so one more post and the same person is unseen again.

Trending

The small button at the right of the row swaps its two faces. Its caption names where you are going, so it reads Trending while updates are on screen and Updates while trending is.

Trending shows one tile per page category, ranked by real engagement — likes, notes and enchants, not follower counts — each cycling through up to ten of that category's faces every three seconds. Tapping a category opens the Enchantée deck filtered to it. With nothing qualifying it reads Nothing trending yet.

Cycling pauses when the browser tab is hidden, when you leave Home, and whenever reduced motion is on. The tilt-on-hover only happens with a mouse or trackpad, never on touch.

Why your feed heading keeps changing

The heading over the feed starts as For you. The first time you touch, scroll or hover the Enchantéers row in a session it becomes Updates, and while the row is showing trending it reads Trending. Nothing is remembered between sessions — every sign-in greets you the same way again.

Discover — finding new people

The Enchantée tab is a vertical deck of other people's live pages — the real page rendered inside the card, not a screenshot. One card is one page, so a creator with three published pages can contribute three cards.

The deck loads the first time you open the tab in a session, not when the app starts. More cards are fetched automatically as you approach the end.

Moving through the deck

Buttons do the same thing: Previous page and Next page carets in the bottom bar, which grey out and stop responding at each end of the deck. The bottom bar only becomes usable once the card is nearly full screen. Arriving on any card always scrolls that page back to its top.

Pull to reload

1. 1Be on the first card, not full screen.
2. 2Drag down. The card follows at half speed and rubber-bands. The label reads Pull to reload.
3. 3Past the threshold it becomes Hold to reload and a ring starts filling. Hold for about a second.
4. 4When it reads Let go to reload, let go. The deck reshuffles with a fresh order.

Letting go early cancels, and so does easing back up. Re-tapping the Enchantée tab while you are already on it reshuffles too — that works on a desktop as well.

The filter chips

Under the search field: All · Portfolio · Link in bio · Art gallery · Shop · Music. Tapping one filters the deck and jumps to the first match.

A page earns its chips two ways, and the two add together rather than compete. The owner's Tier badge glyph contributes first — a Photographer is tagged Art gallery and Portfolio whatever their page contains. Then the widgets add their own: any product, price list or tip jar makes it a Shop; a music widget makes it Music; three or more image-ish widgets make it an Art gallery; three or more link-ish widgets make it a Link in bio; a profile widget plus one of skills, posts, press, testimonials or contact makes it a Portfolio. A page keeps every chip either source gave it, so one page can answer to several.

Empty and error states

The Reload button reshuffles but keeps the chip you are on, so a filter with genuinely nothing behind it will stay empty. Switch to All to get out.

Who can appear in Discover

• The page must be published — an unpublished page still works at its own link, it is just not discoverable.
• It must have at least one widget.
• The account must not be suspended or pending deletion.
• Your own pages never appear in your own deck.
• At most two pages from the same creator arrive in one batch.

On a desktop

The same deck, presented differently. A toggle at the top switches between Phone preview and Desktop preview (the desktop layout is derived from the page you built — there is no separate desktop version to make). A rail on the right edge carries Previous page (↑), a counter showing where you are, Next page (↓) and Open full page. In phone preview, scrolling your mouse wheel anywhere outside the page itself steps the deck. If the deck fails there you get Couldn't load the deck. with a Reload button.

Searching for a creator

At the top of the Enchantée tab there is a search pill: Search creators…. It searches handles and display names.

1. 1Tap the field and type at least one character.
2. 2The results appear a moment after you stop typing — up to ten of them, each an avatar, a name and a handle.
3. 3Tap one. On a phone it opens that person's profile. On a desktop the deck jumps to their page instead.

Keyboard

• ↓ from the field moves into the results.
• ↓ and ↑ walk the list. It does not wrap around at either end.
• ↑ on the first result takes you back to the field.
• Enter or Space picks the focused result.
• Esc in the field closes the results and leaves your text where it is. Esc in the list closes it and puts your cursor back in the field.

What it can say

• Nothing matched: No one matches “…” — check the spelling or try fewer letters.
• The search itself failed: Couldn't search right now — tap to retry. — the whole line is the retry button. This is a separate state on purpose, because a failed search that reads as "no one matches" sends you off to re-spell a name that was never the problem.

Only accounts that have claimed a handle can be found, and suspended or deleted accounts are excluded. Anything you type past 40 characters is ignored. Searching very fast is briefly rate-limited, and when that happens you see the generic error line rather than the real reason.

Badges and rings

Two visual signals travel with a person everywhere: a badge next to their name, and a ring around their avatar.

The badge

Everyone has at most one badge. Highest wins:

Badges are drawn on profile headers, on post cards, on the public profile page and on the membership card's seal. They are deliberately not drawn on the Enchantéers tiles (a second glyph on a small squircle would cost the name more room than it is worth) and follow lists show only the verified seal.

The ring

You'll see it on your Account avatar, on other people's profiles, on the public profile page and on every Enchantéers tile. Trending tiles use the neutral grey ring on purpose — the tile stands for a category, not a person.

Looking at someone else's profile

There is exactly one profile surface in the app, and everything routes to it:

• A post's avatar or name, and the @author prefix on a caption.
• A @mention inside a post, a caption or a comment.
• Any name in a post's likes or comments panel.
• The creator strip at the bottom of a card in the Enchantée deck.
• Any result in Search creators….
• Any row in a follow list, in your saved posts, or on a notification.

What's on it

Their background photo, avatar, name and badge, a bio clamped to three lines, their handle with Show their card and Open page buttons, then Pages · Enchanted · Enchanting and the Enchantée button.

A Shop pill sits beside the follow button, but only if that person actually has something listed. It opens their shop in a new tab.

On a phone, dragging the card sheet up shows their posts under Post; dragging it down shows their membership card, which you can tap to present but never edit. On a desktop it lays out as a page: their profile and card on the left, Posts in the middle, and on a very wide screen a Recent updates digest on the right.

Empty and error states

• The profile wouldn't load: We couldn't load this profile. with a Try again button.
• They have no posts: No updates yet — their page speaks for itself.
• The desktop digest with nothing in it: No updates yet.

Blocking someone

1. 1Open their profile on a desktop.
2. 2Under the follow row, tap Block @name.
3. 3A confirmation appears: "They won't be able to see your page, your posts, or reach you — and you won't see them. This also removes any enchants between you, both ways."
4. 4Tap Block. You get a Blocked @name toast and the profile closes, because there is nothing left on it.

What blocking does, exactly:

• They can't see your page or your posts, and you can't see theirs.
• It deletes the follow in both directions, so both of your follower counts drop.
• Every action either of you tries against the other is refused, so no notification and no push is ever produced between you.
• Blocking the same person twice does nothing extra.

Your blocked list

Open Account → Settings and find the Blocked accounts card — "They can't see or reach you, and you won't see them." Each row has an Unblock button. Empty, it reads You haven't blocked anyone. Up to 500 blocked accounts are listed.

Reporting, suspensions and account deletion are covered in Safety, privacy and your data.

Your notification inbox

One private inbox per account. Everything anyone does to your page, your sub-pages or your posts lands here, newest first. Nobody else can read it.

Where the bell is

There is no bell on the Enchantée or Store tabs, or on the phone Account tab. On a desktop the notifications column starts open on every load, and hiding it lasts only until you reload.

Reading them

1. 1Open the bell (or, on a desktop, just look right — the column is already there).
2. 2Scroll. Newest first.
3. 3Tap a group card to expand it, a post thumbnail to open that post, or an @name to open that person's profile.
4. 4Close with the back arrow, Esc, or the Back gesture.

What a row can say

Quoted comment text is cut at 60 characters. A signed-in person appears as their handle and links to their profile; a visitor who isn't signed in appears as A visitor and their identity is never revealed to you. Under the sentence is a relative time, like "about 3 hours ago". An unread row carries a small purple dot.

Post thumbnails

If a row is about a post, a small square thumbnail sits on the right. It uses the post's own photo, or a picture the widget already carries, or a live miniature of the page, or a glyph matched to the widget type. If the image has since been deleted the thumbnail degrades to a neutral tile rather than a broken picture.

Grouped notification cards

Rather than fifteen near-identical rows, the inbox collapses related events into one card. A group needs at least two members — a single event stays a plain row.

• Post engagement — likes and comments, grouped per post: Your post got 3 likes & 2 comments.
• New enchants — grouped per page: 4 people are enchanted with your page.
• Page engagement — reactions, notes, nudges, applause, gifts, waves and bookmarks, grouped per page: Your page got 2 likes, 1 comment & 3 reactions.
• Page updates — collapsed per creator, so someone who edits ten times leaves one row carrying the count.

The second line names up to two people and counts the rest — "from @alice, @bob and 4 others", or "from 6 visitors" when everyone was anonymous. The third line says which page it was about, or quotes the post's own text. A post with no text gets no third line. Then up to three stacked avatars.

Expanding a card

1. 1Tap anywhere on the card. The caret turns and the rows appear underneath — at most 10 at first.
2. 2If there are more, a Show more button appears at the bottom-left. Tap it to see all of them.
3. 3Bottom-right: See the post on a post card, or See more on a page-engagement or enchants card.

See more — your page engagement

See more opens a dialog called Your page engagement. On the left, your own page presented like a post: your avatar, your name, a live miniature of the page and your bio. On the right, a segmented control with Likes and Comments.

• Likes shows your last 20 page likes, newest first. Empty: No likes yet.
• Comments shows up to 50 page comments, re-threaded newest conversation first, 20 conversations at a time, with replies behind a per-thread toggle that carries their count and opens ten at a time (Hide replies once it is open). Empty: No comments yet.
• Tap anyone in either list to open their profile.
• Close with the Close cross, a click on the scrim, Esc, or Back.

This dialog is read-only. There is no comment box, no like button and no reply — it is a record, not a conversation.

Opening a post from a notification

1. 1Tap a post thumbnail on a plain row, or See the post on a post card.
2. 2On a phone the full post rises over the app, seeded from the row so it paints instantly; the notifications page closes behind it, so Back lands on the dashboard.
3. 3On a desktop a centred dialog opens over the app, showing the real post card and its likes and comments.
4. 4Liking or commenting there is mirrored back into the feed behind it.

Unread counts, and marking them read

• The number on the bell — and on the Enchantée tab — is your unread count, shown as 9+ past nine.
• Page updates never badge. They appear in the list, but they are excluded from the count on purpose, so the bell can read zero while unread update rows sit there.
• Opening any inbox surface marks everything read automatically, a little over a second after it appears.
• Mark all read does it instantly. It sits in the phone page header, the desktop sidebar header and the Account dropdown header.
• Close notifications — the cross beside it — only exists in the desktop Account dropdown. The phone page uses its back arrow, and the desktop sidebar has no close button at all.

Marking read is all or nothing. There is no per-row read control, and nothing can be marked unread again.

What you can't do

• You cannot delete a notification. There is no per-row delete, no swipe, and no "clear all". The only actions are Mark all read and closing the panel.
• There is no pagination. The inbox holds the 50 newest rows. A very busy day pushes older ones out of reach for good.
• Muting is not retroactive. Rows written before you turned a switch off stay where they are.

Empty and error states

• Nothing yet: No enchantments yet and "Share your page — updates land here."
• The fetch failed: Couldn't load notifications. with a Try again link. A dead request is never shown as an empty inbox.
• While it loads: three shimmering placeholder rows.

Choosing what you're told about

1. 1Open Account → Settings.
2. 2Scroll to the Notifications card — "Choose what you get told about."
3. 3Flip any switch. It saves immediately; there is no Save button.

Nine switches, all on by default, on every plan. A muted type is stopped before the row is ever written, so it never appears in your inbox and never inflates the badge.

Types you can't mute

Four things always reach you, by design:

• Someone liking one of your posts.
• Someone commenting on one of your posts, or replying to your comment.
• Free credits granted by the operators — deliberately un-muteable, because it changes what your account can do.
• A marketplace sale — the You made a sale push, which has no preference check and leaves no inbox row.

If a switch fails to save it snaps back and you get Couldn't save that. Try again. If the card itself can't load it shows Couldn't load your preferences. with a Try again button. Flipping many switches very fast is briefly rate-limited, which shows as the same save error.

Browser push notifications

Push lets Enchant.ee show a banner on your device even when the tab is closed. It is off until you ask for it, and it is per browser, not per account.

1. 1Open the notifications page (phone) or the notifications column (desktop).
2. 2Scroll to the bottom row, Push notifications.
3. 3Tap Enable.
4. 4Your browser asks for permission. Allow it.
5. 5The row changes to Enabled with a double tick.

Which events actually send a push

Only five. Everything else lands in the inbox silently.

Tapping a banner focuses an Enchant.ee window that is already showing that page, or opens a new one.

When it doesn't work

• If you deny permission — or already denied it once — the row reads Blocked in browser settings. The app cannot undo that. The only way back is your browser's own notification settings for this site.
• If the subscription fails for any other reason the row quietly returns to Enable. There is no error toast on this row; tap Enable again.
• Clearing your browser data, or uninstalling the site, silently ends push for that device. Turn it on again from the same row.
• Deleting your account removes every push subscription you had.
