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.
I just noticed that HTML entities (such as ℵ for ℵ or — for —) seem not to be supported in titles. Should they be? Clarification: I'm not asking for general HTML support in t...
It would be nice if you could make the Current Password field required client side for Account changes. At the moment, it just has a description/label, and fails validation server-side if not ente...
When editing an answer, there's sometimes reason to look at the question again (I just had such a case). Therefore I think it would be a good idea if the question would be shown on the page where y...
As far as I know, a "contact us" button (or alike) is both an accessibility standard and a business standard, to say the least. I want to write to the community managers privately --- and please u...
I'd like to have the "copy link" button below questions improved so that it gives something more useful. Currently when clicking on it, you just get a raw URL like: https://unicorns.codidact.com/p...
I was reviewing a post when mistakenly, I flagged the post. I wanted to remove that flag, since I know that moderators would decline it. Since the flag was raised by mistake, it would be great if ...
Codidact is "creating" sites. Every-time you are working to build a new community. Even, lot of peoples are proposing sites. Codiact doesn't notify user when they successfully create a sub-domain. ...
I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief descriptio...
I'm not referring to accepting just one answer like on Stack Exchange because your question can receive > 1 answer and each answer solves your question synergistically. No one answer solves your...
. I was editing a comment. It became very big(more than 500 letters). And, I didn't know. I was clicking on Post button multiple although it wasn't updating. I thought it may be bug. Then, I r...
I suggest adding some format to question (and answer) Posting tips section so that instead, for example: Questions get better answers if they are specific and clearly written. Feature requests ...
I have asked 7 questions and answered 2 questions. Sometimes I go to my profile to visit my old questions and answers. I notice that the answers and questions are grouped together. There's a tag fo...
During our tour to teach users how to use the site, there's a point where we guide you through asking a question, including adding a title and tags: However, something you have when posting an a...
This website should add more features. Watch Tags. [I think this site doesn't contain Watch Tags. We(user) don't like watch lot of question(topic of everything). Using the Watch Tags we could on...
In SE there's an option to mark answer as correct. While it isn't available in Codidact. In Codidact there's a tag status-completed. But, I don't think this will be very helpful for Software Codida...
I was delighted to find that a post I started writing on my phone automatically had a draft saved so I could continue writing it on my computer when I got home. However, I noticed that only the bod...
Recently, I saw this promoted post: I feel like the way it's presented is less than ideal, since It makes no sense out of context (Photo Contest) It's not a question, so calling it one only ...
Everytime I write longer comments and exceed a certain amount of characters, the input field for comments becomes scrollable. However, the scrolling makes it very hard for me to find specific passa...
dir=rtl and inline HTML CSS styling, which I need to properly format my following post on Software Development Codidact, aren't working; The source code preview of the post doesn't correctly match...
After hitting the "Cancel" button when writing or editing a post, a prompt shows up that says Any unsaved changes will be lost. Are you sure? [Okay] [Cancel] Hitting [Okay] will kick you out...
I might be missing something, but I can't find any way to filter a search by tags. I looked in the Help Center, but it also doesn't list any way to do it. Simply searching the tag doesn't seem to ...
After I asked a question, it was pointed out in the comments that it may possibly be a duplicate of another question. I was inclined to agree and wanted to close it. However, the only option I see[...
See also the related question about canceling writing a comment: https://meta.codidact.com/questions/277948 When editing a comment, there is no option to cancel the edit without refreshing the p...
Isn't the arrow a the upper right corner linking all other communities as a drop down menu superfluous, when we can just scroll down where all the other communities are listed? At least, please ad...
In the mod tools, we can change the close reasons. This is helpful when a community possibly needs more or less than normal. However, there isn't a way to change the flags, which means that we mig...
Currently I still see comments that I deleted, under a post. But I don't need to.
Here are five reasons for coloring text. If you're quoting a long text that already uses bolds and italics, then all formatting tools have been exhausted. You can't highlight something. B...
Whenever I post a question it takes a long time for someone to answer it. I do not know if someone is atleast active in the community or not. I know this community is to help each other's problems ...
Please see point 5 below. Both Codidact and S.E. waste that white space. Why not put the posted date box "posted 3 months ago" in that white space?
Please see point 1 below. The top of S.E. is much sprucer — just the logo. But Codidact has two additional rows — at least merge these rows? Moshi retorted #1 The first row is categories, which...
Please see point 2 below. If we align the "last activity" right, our eyes won't have to zigzag. We just read down the same column. Zerotime asked me to separate my six bullet points. I know "Cod...
So apparently, while writing a new post, there's an auto-save feature where every once in a while the system saves the current progress as a draft. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to manual...
If a question already has 10 answers, less chance I can add anything new. Some people may like to focus on unanswered questions. Let's distinguish between what's relevant and irrelevant with text ...
I keep learning about the hard work that has been done in Codidact over time. There are many little things that are known by the veterans, but may not be easy to understand for the newcomers like m...
Right now on Outdoors one of the nominated posts is for a contest that has finished, and I would like to be able to remove it from the list but am currently unable to do so. Can we get an option t...
Right now I can only go off memory as to which questions I have nominated for the Community Ads unless I see them in the sidebar or try to renominate them. Can we get a list (not sure if it should...
I was looking for how to search, and it took a bit, because I was looking for a box to click and type. A nice feature would be having a box with placeholder text "Search" (and a way to submit) ins...
It's probably just my Internet connection, but I often find when I'm composing a post that my window freezes for a few moments so that my post can autosave. Sometimes it happens often enough to be ...
Right now, the Abilities page isn't very obviously accessible - I had to go to my profile, click on one of the abilities I have, then click "Return to list" since there is no direct link there. Th...
There should be the option to customise the heading in the community-promoted network posts as "Could you answer this question?" isn't always applicable. Example: The post in question is an imag...
Currently, when editing a post the system will automatically save a draft for you after a short period of inactivity. This draft will then be loaded again if you leave the page and return, even if ...
I realized that the dashboard isn't particularly easy to find for new people, which is a shame since it's pretty useful. (It shows which communities have new activity at a glance, handy for those i...
I suggested an edit to a post a while ago. The link to the suggestion can be found browsing through the activity in my user page. However, it does not show in the post history, where you can see: ...
I normally spend quite a lot of time writing my posts. However, after posting them I read them again and normally find some subtleties that I want to change: some commas, a better title, these kind...
I noticed the new side switcher and really like this feature. Oftentimes, I browse Codidact and read up on posts while I'm on the go and naturally I would like to switch sites as easily as with the...
As explained in the Recent feature changes to the Codidact software, in December 2020 we got: Added community switcher (right side of the top bar). It works very well and it is very useful. C...
S.E. has this feature. You just copy and paste the link of the picture, and S.E. uploads it for you. But for Codidact, I have to download the picture to my computer. Then upload it? This wastes ti...
The default sort order, apparently everywhere, is by "activity". I virtually never want this and prefer to sort by "age" as I want to see which questions are new. The feature request is to add a p...
I've noticed this both on mobile and on desktop, that in order to close a dropdown menu, you must click on the button that opened it. I think it would make for a much better user experience to be a...
I received a Mod notification for a Duplicate Flag. In such flags (and anything similar where a Post reference is included), the referenced possible duplicate target should be a link instead of pla...
