It's unfortunate that they removed the second column. The clear distinction between "projects I started" and "projects I help with" was wonderful. And it only fits half as many now. Being able to pin repositories is nice, but not worth the loss of the columns for me.

+1 for two columns. It would be great, if you can pin your contributions also. For example, If I create organization for experimenting with stuff and contribute a lot to its repos, my contributions are overwhelmed with experimental stuff. Kinda sad.

Not really. For instance, in my profile [1] I started two somewhat popular projects, however since I started them as independent "organizations" (as should be the case in this situation) they were in "projects I help with". It totally made it look like it was a one-time off contribution, while it's not the case. [1] https://github.com/franciscop/ https://github.com/franciscop/

  I can make a one-time off contribution to a big project (I did actually, with React) and pin it to the top. With the two columns, it didn't show up because I have more contributions in other projects. Both sides have their pros and cons.

    Yes, but when it says "Projects contributed to" as a different section from "Popular repositories" it looks like the contributed ones are NOT your own. When it says "Pinned projects" it doesn't mean "My Repositories" nor "Contributed to", it just means I chose to show them. If I choose to show them it means that: 1. I contributed a lot to it so I want to show it. 2. I want show a project as mine when I just did a small contribution. This is easy to caught. So you have a choice of showing your work vs trying to cheat, while in the old one it was just everything mixed. I for one welcome to be able to choose and think in total is a positive change, but I understand some people worry that other people "cheat".
