I’m happy for people to know about my early work, but I don’t really want them to see it. What should I do?

That’s totally fine, and very common. You don’t need to link to everything. Everyone starts somewhere, and no one expects your first work to be perfect. Including your early milestones still shows experience and growth, even if you’d rather not showcase the actual work. You can simply mention those projects without adding links, or just include a screenshot if you want to acknowledge them without revealing too much. It’s all about striking a balance between being open about your journey and feeling comfortable with what you share.
