01

Get Started

  • Create an account or sign in with Discord.
  • Pick a username. Your page will live at shy.bio/username.
  • Open the dashboard and save your display name, bio, avatar, banner, and links.
02

Customize Your Profile

  • Use Identity for your username, display name, bio, badges, and profile media.
  • Use Customize for colors, card shape, hover strength, borders, typewriter text, and background effects.
  • Use Links to add social buttons. Public profile links show as clickable icons.
03

Discord

  • Connect Discord from the dashboard so your public Discord user widget can load.
  • Discord badges, avatar decoration, and animated avatars come from your connected Discord account.
  • If sign-in fails, make sure your auth redirect URL is allowed and try signing in again.
04

Badges, UID, And Leaderboard

  • Your UID is your permanent profile number and also works at shy.bio/u/uid.
  • OG is automatic for users with UID 1 through 100.
  • The leaderboard shows public profiles 10 users per page and ranks by profile views.
05

Uploads

  • Avatar, banner, background, favicon, and music uploads can be changed from the dashboard.
  • Old uploaded media can still be replaced or cleared.
  • For best results, use square images for avatars and wide images for banners.
06

Troubleshooting

  • If a profile change does not show, refresh the page after saving.
  • If Discord data says loading, check that Discord is connected and the user ID was saved.
  • If a username is unavailable, it may already be taken, reserved, or blocked.
