Hey, i didn't decide on this yet. Initially i added the author names on the card so people can see who the idea came from and authors possibly get a little bit of credit.
But then i thought maybe some people are too shy to give their name away so it's best to remove them.
I was still in dilemma, so removed it from the UI but not from the api reponses ( will do it now )
In future, i'll just add an option in the profile, so you can choose to show your name if you want to
For future reference you definitely want to remove PII from the API as soon as it's not needed on the frontend—people, even engineers, naturally expect to be able to visually confirm what information is and isn't public, and you don't want to be that site that exposed data through a side channel.
