Okay so if I want everyone to see it (public) I would place it within: `mydomain.com/u/<user>summary`  
So by use of `enableDevTools()` within the browser console I think **`user-profile-secondary`** will be a good place.  
I will try now.

Im stuck. How would I get the `id` of the user I am viewing? Because `api.getCurrentUser` does the logged in user.

I just put the User ID on plugin outlet: **header-contents\_\_after**
