# Glossary

> Quick definitions for the words used on Biolovers and in this help center.

## Profile parts

**Profile** — your public page at `biolovers.site/<username>`.

**Username** — your unique handle. Picks your default URL (`biolovers.site/yourname`). 1–32 chars, lowercase letters / numbers / underscores / hyphens. See [Domain & URL](/profile/domain-and-url).

**Alias slug** *(Premium)* — a second URL that points to the same profile, e.g. `biolovers.site/aka`. Useful if you change your handle but want the old link to still work. 1–32 chars, same character rules as username.

**Display name** — the big name shown above your handle (can be different from your username — emoji and spaces allowed).

**Typewriter** — an animated rotation effect available on display name, @handle, bio, and (Premium) the browser tab title. Phrases are entered one per line.

**About me / bio** — the short paragraph below your name. Supports a small markdown subset (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, links, headings, alignment wrappers). Editor caps it at 200 characters.

**Stats line / corner stats** — the small line of icons (views, joined, location, timezone) under your name.

## Looks

**Card** — the rectangle that holds your profile contents. Lives on top of the page background.

**Layout preset** — the overall card structure: **Default**, **Modern**, **Simplistic**, or **Sleek**. See [Card layout](/appearance/card-layout).

**Page chrome** — the page-level look: **Default** vs **Clean**. Set in the Card layout panel.

**Card panel chrome** — the card itself: **Site default**, **Solid**, **Glass**, or **Transparent** (Transparent is Premium).

**Accent color** — the highlight color used for buttons, links, and hover states. Set in the Name & about panel.

**Text effects** *(Premium)* — per-role color treatments. The seven options are `plain` (solid), `gradient`, `outline`, `glow`, `neon`, `softShadow`, and `rainbow` (inline). Each text role (display name, @handle, bio, links, labels, meta, entry gate, footer) has its own picker. See [Text effects](/appearance/text-effects).

## Media

**Avatar** — your profile picture. PNG / JPEG / WebP / GIF, max 2 MiB.

**Page background** — the image or video **behind** the card. Image max 10 MiB; video MP4 / WebM / MOV max 100 MiB and gets transcoded to HLS.

**Splash / click-to-enter** — optional intro screen visitors tap before your profile shows. Image **or video** background. See [Splash](/media/splash).

**Custom cursor** — replace the mouse arrow with your own image (PNG or WebP, max 128 × 128 px). Auto-centered hotspot. Optional trail.

**Background music / audio track** — songs that play on your page. Max 5 tracks (Premium), 8 MiB per file. MP3 / WAV / OGG / M4A.

## Connections

**Social link chip** — a small icon button that goes to your other accounts (Instagram, GitHub, Spotify, etc.).

**Live tile / social integration** — a bigger card that pulls public stats from a platform (channel followers, level, subscriber count). Live "now playing" data is **not** part of these tiles — that's what the Discord presence card is for.

**Discord presence** — a card that shows what game you're playing, what song you're listening to on Spotify, etc., powered by the Biolovers Discord bot's gateway connection. Needs your Discord linked **and** you to share a server with our bot. See [Discord & Telegram](/connections/discord-telegram).

## Widgets

**Widget** — an extra block on your profile (markdown infobox, embed, gear shelf, portfolio, Steam inventory, gaming settings). See [Widgets overview](/widgets/overview). Up to 16 per profile.

**Scroll-for-more pages** — extra "pages" stacked under your main card that visitors scroll down to. Up to 10. Great for portfolio + bio split.

## Account & money

**2FA / two-step sign-in** — extra 6-digit code at login. See [Two-step sign-in](/getting-started/two-factor).

**Premium** — paid lifetime upgrade (\$6.99 one-time) that unlocks custom fonts, multi-track audio, custom favicon, alternate domains, page alias, text effects, typewriters, and other extras.

**Verified** — a one-time \$19.99 paid badge. Adds the verified checkmark next to your name. Independent from Premium.

**Donator / Guardian / Legend** — donation tiers (≥ $10 / ≥ $50 / ≥ $100 lifetime, paid via [donations](/premium/donations)). Min single donation $1.99.

**Custom badges** — paid extra slots where you upload your own badge images.

## Tech

**Dashboard** — `dashboard.biolovers.site` — where you edit your profile.

**Marketing site** — `biolovers.site` — landing page, pricing, FAQ, leaderboard.

**UID / public user id** — your numeric account ID. Every account has one and it never changes. Shown in the public @handle tooltip.
