Post History

Welcome to Codidact!

Codidact is very much a work in progress, and input is welcome.  This network-wide Meta is the best place to find existing feature requests.  Some also come in as GitHub issues (in the codidact/qpixel repository -- that's the main code repo).  It's best to look around and get familiar with what's already been brought up, but don't hold off on questions or requests because you think you're "too late".  Worst case, you'll ask about something that's already been brought up and your question will be marked as a duplicate and you'll get a pointer to the previous post.

We have the tour, which I see you've found, and we welcome suggestions for ways to improve it.  Please feel free to ask those questions here.

We also, I learned just this week, have the ability to show an "introduction" message to anonymous users (people who visit without being signed in).  This message can be customized for each community.  We'll try to figure out what it should say here on Meta, and make sure our moderators know they can set this on their communities.  While all communities on our network share basic expectations, each community does have its own norms and we need to make sure people are aware of them.  The help on each community is a good starting point.

One of our broad design goals is better *contextual* help and guidance -- not just a help area, but also information that's immediately relevant to what you're doing right now.  The "ask question" guidance is one example of this.  Reading your post, I realize that one of the places we need this is the account-creation page: what should we show you right after you create an account?  Where should you go next?

This is only a partial response to your post; I hope to improve it later, but wanted to at least post what I've got.
