Making it public

Question

Hi my name is Hanad . I live in Somalia.
It was a while ago when I start learning how to code at sololearn.com(first ever ).
somehow I stopped learning(realworld problems).
but after recovery I started it again . so I want to make all my codes( original,first,new ) public ,because I want to get some motivation from the community.
Question
☺ how to boost My coding?pls

😶wish me luck💻

thanks☺ have a nice day/night.

(Sorry if there is something wrong with my grammar)

Answer 1

Do whatever you want, codes are Open Source, but you should save codes of other users as "Private" in your CodePlayground... Why?

Becuase duplicates are useless.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

@Gami, personally i'm glad if people modify my codes, if people learn from my codes, if people save my codes as "public" after modify them, but for useless duplicates... no, i don't like it.

I mean, it is not important, people can copy my code, but simply has no sense. :)

Answer 3

Oh! ok, then I would recommend the same things I recently wrote on this other thread ☺:
https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/347791/?ref=app
I've seen your codes and they look promising, keep them coming 😊👍

Answer 4

@Paola if you save a code as "Private" and then you set it as "Public"... nothing happens and your code is showed on your profile feed.

If you save a code as "Private", do something in the Q&A (Answers, Questions...), then set it as "Public", your code will be down in your profile feed.

Source: I ever setted my codes as "Private" for test it.

Answer 5

One thing I've noticed when posting a new code, is that if you saved it first as private, work it out, and then make it public, it will not be shown on your profile's feed nor your followers' feeds.

So one of the ways to boost the visibility of your codes is by immediately posting them as public so others can see your codes on your profile's feed and theirs 😊

I've never "advertised" my codes like I've seen others do by posting a "question" which is not really a question, they are not looking for help on their code but rather sharing the link to their codes so others can see them and upvote them. That's how they gain visibility too I guess. I would personally never do that but I don't mind when others do it because normally they share good codes and I love seeing sololearners coding, plus, some codes posted on threads have even inspired me 😊

Answer 6

@Maz yes! that's what I meant 😊 sorry, after saying "work it out" I should have added "for a few days", your most recent activity is going to push it down and it won't be easily visible anymore on your feed and your followers' feeds.

Normally when I have an idea and I start prototyping it, I create a 'private' code and it could sit there for days or weeks, and when I finally finish it and set it to 'public' it won't be visible because I have other and most recent stuff showing up at the top of my feed😛 so yeah, if we have an old post and we want to boost its visibility we better create a new code and copy the finished code there 😊

Btw, I read @hanad's question again and I'm not sure I understood him correctly, whether he meant "how to boost coding visibility or coding skills" 😅

Answer 7

@Hannad You can save the web codes public too.

@Maz Even if people copied your code, yours would still be the most known because it was the first and also you should appreciate that. Tjat means your code is liked by others ;)

Answer 8

Nice codes. xP

Answer 9

OK thanks @maz.
Edited

Answer 10

@Gami thanks , but people aren't same, The best way is to keep them(copied codes) private .

Answer 11

@paola I mean skills and so on

Answer 12

@paola , Great ,
thanks

Answer 13

@imabadkidz thanks

Answer 14

@Rrestoring faith. thanks

Answer 15

Finally, by using Google's search rather than SL's own, I start getting the differences between private and public modes. I'd read Yeva's and Tashi's posts but they weren't clear enough for me and when you search using the SL query you get Java and whatnot with these keywords.

Anyways, it's old yes but Pao : We noobs are asked to give our codes.
I don't even remember seeing any question that looked more like a code ad.
That's so not-motivating to think how other Sololearners might find ulterior motives for asking a question.
People tell us to show our work. You must be talking about knowledgeable people like yourself because how can newbies show off what they don't have?
And knowledgeable ones are the rarer kind, and not all of them want to brag so it must be very few people doing that. Why generalize it?
