This is something I’ve gone back & forth over as I’ve contributed to some projects online but have been hesitant to mention it when applying for jobs. Typical reasons such as wanting to keep work/personal life separate.

    Wouldn’t that come off as suspicious?

        Suspicious as in: You’re lying; the project doesn’t exist or you haven’t contributed to the degree you’d claim to.

          Maybe I have the wrong take on this. In my mind you have two accounts. One account for projects you are working on that are intended for general public consumption. Potential employers see that one. The other account is for projects that you want for personal use or a much narrower consumption. I never intended either to contain the work of others or to not accutually exist.
