Primary Deck
Your primary deck is your main public profile that serves as your professional landing page.
What is a Primary Deck?
Your primary deck is a special type of deck that:
- Lives at your custom subdomain:
yourname.roledeck.io - Is always public and accessible to anyone with the URL
- Serves as your main professional profile and portfolio
- Can be shared on LinkedIn, Twitter, or in your email signature
- Shows your overall experience and skills (not tied to a specific job)
Think of it as your personal professional website - a single URL that showcases who you are professionally.
