Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.
Posts tagged feature-request
Tag Wiki
To track requests, you can filter on the status tags:
-
status-completed (done)
-
status-planned (we're planning to do this at some point; sometimes this means it's done but pending deployment)
-
status-deferred (idea is doable but we don't have time/resources right now)
-
status-declined (won't or can't do this)
Here is a filter definition that shows all tagged feature requests:
Any feature request that our team thinks we should do or are planning to do gets logged as an issue on our GitHub repository (with some delay to allow for discussion on Meta first) — this is what our devs look through for things needing to be done.
When I click flag there is a menu that shows up showing the reasons, like spam, rude, needs author's attention, etc. But how can I close the menu without refreshing the page? I do not see an 'X' wi...
Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post. I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should...
I'd like for communities to be able to opt in to a feature that shadowbans new accounts for a brief period of time. Moderators should be able to release accounts from the shadowban manually; they s...
It appears that Codidact has notification streams for new questions and interesting questions, but currently these are over email. Can you add a search filter, global page, RSS feed or some other ...
When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitti...
Would it be possible to have human-readable profile URLs instead of numbers? e.g. https://meta.codidact.com/users/da5nsy or https://meta.codidact.com/users/@da5nsy rather than https://meta.codid...
In the Vote Summary tab of the user page, each of a users posts shows how many votes up and down: This shows voting, but does not make clear how this affects reputation. In this example, the fir...
Sometimes I will compose a lengthy post, submit it, see it in context and immediately notice a typo - no matter how careful I thought I was being. I'm not sure it's desirable that, when I go to fi...
When you vote on a post, and it later gets edited, should you get a notification? Say you upvoted something because you liked it. But then it got edited and you don't like the new version. You mig...
Many images and screenshots captured today, are larger than 2 MB, the max allowed size on Codidact. This means users will regularly run into a barrier when attempting to upload images to their post...
Where to find information about the abilities, is currently a bit confusing. There are too many pages. The help page for abilities, as well as the dashboard, present pretty much the exact same inf...
The communities "drop-down"/"switcher" menu next to the user profile could do with a few tweaks. The communities appearing there are sorted after order of community creation. That is: Writing, Codi...
Can you add the Wilson Score tooltip from posts onto list pages as well? Either on the vote numbers, on the colored bar, or on both?
Can the Scoring help page's sample chart start at 0 votes instead of 1? Lots of posts probably have no votes or only up or down votes.
I have been visiting the site for some time now and I am slowly developing a bit of a problem with the landing page for codidact.com: First of all, there is no indication on that page of whether...
Inspired by the confusion in https://meta.codidact.com/posts/290048 , I'd like to propose a UI enhancement. Using a spinner for this value doesn't make a lot of sense, since the user needs to think...
Currently, when pasting a link to somewhere on Codidact, into posts or comments, the link is rendered in the output the same way it's written in the post source; that is, the URL. The parser should...
How can I tell when a user last logged in? When I go to their profile's "Activity" tab, it shows me only activity on that site. I don't want to cycle through every site one by one. The global doe...
I invested tremendous resources into producing quality content, and marketing it. Starting from zero to me is excessive. I'd like some way to display my SE progress directly and visibly on my Codi...
When you click on "Flag" under a post, you get a dropdown asking "Why does this post require moderator attention?" One of the options is needs author's attention This question is off-topic ...
Currently, the help center has a list of user abilities, with sub-pages for each of the entries, to elaborate on them. The help center should also have an entry for "Participate", the first ability...
Does Codidact have a Submit a Data Access Request form, like SE? How long shall Codidact take?
Why ? It would facilitate some misunderstandings and clarification without the need for a public comment. It would open a path to people being "mentored" in their first 5 question or what amount i...
It seems that permissible features which are voted up considerably will be added to a community. By "permissible" I mean those features which are not rejected by the community team due to some poli...
I just made a comment on another Meta post because I wasn't sure whether something in someone else's answer was a typo, or if so what the correct wording should be. It turned out that my best guess...
This is in response to something that happened on the Math site, but it's really a Codidact-wide issue. A week or two ago, someone posted a poorly written question. Not surprisingly, the question...
As things stand, the options for flagging a question seem rather spartan: Image of flagging dialog We have: two options for actual abusive use of the site software an option for dupli...
A sort of a solution to this problem, but would also apply to posts such as moderator elections, one-off proposals (though status-complete also works), and just generally posts which at some point ...
I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across, besides this website being smaller, but we already knew what we were getting ...
Currently, marking a question as a duplicate is part of question closure. Duplicates are a little different from other close reasons, though -- often the question itself is clear, complete, and o...
I noticed that questions exist on this network and are accessible that are unlikely to ever be very helpful, for example because they were marked as completely off-topic. Examples Are internati...
During my effort at building structure and content in the EE.CD tags pages, I found myself often wanting a way to list all the tags in alphabetic order, regardless of their status or their place in...
I received a comment on my answer to https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289594 about the image size. It is a perfectly valid point. For comparison, in StackExchange it is possible to resize by ad...
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 ...
I was asked to spill out what would be my UX changes, so here I go. My personal opinion on UX is in majority about my own discomfort with white background. As person working on computer for 10-12 h...
Currently, when I look at search results, or the list of posts on my user profile, I get results that look like: I have two objections. In my view: Answers should show the tags of the corre...
I would like to be able to write e.g. [software.cd] and have it generate a link to https://software.codidact.com with a friendly title. Currently, it becomes a link based on the actual text content...
I just created a bug report post about notifications in the inbox. When applying tags for my post, I typed in "notifications". That resulted in two tags [tag:notification] and [tag:notifications]. ...
When viewing a user's Edits on the Activity tab of the user profile, it includes "Initial revision", which seems to me more like a posting than an edit: In the edit history of an individual post...
Currently, it is possible to set required tags for a category. For example, here on meta it lists as required tags one of: bug, feature-request, discussion or support. For meta, this works pretty ...
When flagging a post as "Needs author's attention", the interface provides a single-line text entry field for "Details?", which does not allow for newlines. Input text scrolls without any clear ind...
Comments allow some Markdown features such as numbered and bullet point lists, code blocks, and quote blocks. They also allow MathJax in communities for which it is enabled. A rendered comment can ...
I think this has come up before, maybe tangentially on some specific site (EE.CD ?), but I lost track of the posts/comments. Anyway, I think it would be useful, at least for EE.CD, but I post here...
We should make it easier for trusted users to manage tags. Can we please have some feedback on the following ideas? Creating tags directly (independently of a post): move from mod-only to anyo...
When you click on the "Mobile Sign-In" button, you are shown a QR code that, when scanned with your phone, opens your browser on the phone and signs you in automatically. Although I can see how th...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list include "Activity", "Age", and "Score", which are all orders into which to sort the posts. However, for sites with imported content they als...
Reactions are currently used on CD to: Confirm an answer worked (similar to accepting an answer on SO) Show that an answer is dangerous Indicate interest in participating in a proposed CD site...
Related: Could we have a way to edit without bumping posts? Motivation I usually edit my own posts a lot of times in order to improve them. This put the corresponding post on top of the "main p...
I usually work with dozens of open tabs in my browser and even when using Codidact I have several tabs open pointing maybe at different posts on different communities and/or meta. Having different...
After searching for a question, if I don't find it, I often want to ask a new one. But the search page doesn't have any way of doing that, from what I can see. Could the ask questions button be a...
