The main Codidact page tells us that: Our goal is to build an open-source platform for community-driven Q&A sites. We aim to welcome beginners and experts alike and to empower communities of l...
Keep the bidirectional score bar I personally prefer the current bidirectional score bar over the proposed one. It allows unscored (0-0) and neutral posts to have zero color, making it more visual...
We are not Stack Exchange. While we share some ideals with SE, and have a similar Q&A-based system, the two platforms operate differently and with differing goals. The feature sets are differe...
Currently, it is possible to upvote and downvote answers. That's likely enough in most situations, but there are some cases where you might want to have more than one way to react to a post. For ex...
Could each site have its own favicon? When I have too many tabs open and can't read the page titles, it'll help me distinguish the different sites.
How should we handle possibly-outdated reactions? No, not by reactions to reactions. An edit to a post made after reactions were added could change the applicability of those reactions. Somebody ...
With the network constantly but surely growing, I wondered how Codidact is financed. I think that this question is highly relevant as it's emphasised that Codidact is run for the community from the...
Currently, the expenses of Codidact (primarily web hosting) are paid for directly by volunteer contributors or their employers. No corporate sponsored hosting has any advertising or other strings a...
Currently, strings that look like some subset of fully qualified domain names are automatically turned into links to the corresponding http:// resource. So, for example, example.com becomes a link ...
(Originally brought up at https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/3359#comment-11064) Can we allow thread starters to edit the title of a comment? This could be useful in cases like, for example...
I asked a question to the Software Development Codidact site here. I monitored it closely for several hours in case there was a quick response. A day later I found a couple comments waiting for me ...
tl,dr: No. I'm sorry, but this just isn't possible. First of all, we all are people with a real life. We all have full-time responsibilities in real life. These responsibilities are unquestionable...
Working with volunteers is very different to working with paid staff, and if you try to bring the same expectations then you will cause problems. Paid staff have a contract: the hours and type of w...
We're currently not able to accept donations, since we don't yet have a nonprofit set up quite yet. However, as mentioned in the Newsletter, we're actively working on setting one up! A couple weeks...
I don't understand those voting patterns either. Because people vote for all sorts of reasons, ranging from "I enthusiastically support this" to "that sounds reasonable to me (but I wouldn't parti...
On some of our communities, it would be helpful to be able to label answers systematically: On Code Golf, by language. On Software Development, Power Users, or Linux Systems, by specific ...
December 2021 Show when a post has been edited on the post itself Only render HTML tags that we support in post previews Allow access to deleted post histories only if the user can see the del...
Please, no. With modern technology, we all get way too many nagware messages as it is. Let's not have Codidact add to that. It's easy enough to visit meta occasionally. And, there is already a m...
Currently (November 2020), the list of questions displays a "last activity" under each one of them. It refers, obviously, to when and who made the last action in the Q&A thread and links to the...
On the page for the Edit Tags ability, it lists a part of the requirement as To earn this ability, you need to have roughly a 97.5% approval rate for suggested edits to either the detailed tag w...
