I used to star something if I:

  • Wanted to use it
  • Use it
  • Want to read more about it

until I moved to my current workflow of:

  • If I want to use it or read about it, write about it and link to it in my notes
  • If I use it and like it, star it

This way, nosy employers or people will only see in my stars what I like to work with, and they can poke around my public notes to see what I'm interested in (... once I finish moving my notes to it)

If it's all public anyway I don't think there's much cause to split the two unless that's just how you prefer to organize them, honestly.
