"Tour" for new users?

+8
−0

Hi everyone! I'm joining the bandwagon coming from SE. I've been active over there for just over four years, so needless to say that I'm very familiar with that platform.

Codidact shares a lot of similarities with SE: it's got Markdown support, the sidebar works similarly to that of SE, etc. But there's a lot of things which are different, too, such as the new categories feature, reputation being replaced with trust levels, etc.

SE, for comparison, has both a tour and a help center, where the tour provides an overall view of how things work and the help center looks at the details on how to ask, answer, and do other things on the site. If there is something analogous here, it's not very well publicized.

If there is not a tour/help center: what would it take to create one?

If and when there is a tour/help center: what would it take to, say, add a widget to the sidebar or footer with a link to it?

Hi @DonielF, we have a help center, which is currently being written. I see, that you already joined our chat server. If you want to help writing some of the texts, ping me there (luap42 is my name there, too). OTOH, we don't have something like a tour yet, but more inline and interactive help is definitely planned, maybe even a "tutorial engine", where you can try everything in a sandbox environment. We just haven't had the time for that, because everything is quite new.

(I'm a Co-Lead for User Help for Codidact.) I've spent the past few days writing up help center articles; currently, things are being coordinated in chat and on the docs GitHub repo. A tour is definitely on the list of things to do in the near future.
