  • Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description.
  • Currently, Codidact seems to inform me about the change in the total score (e.g. 0.666667), but this is not particularly useful.
  • I think we should have tooltips with static text indicating when it is appropriate to up/down vote. A per-site setting (thanks [Mithical] (https://meta.codidact.com/users/8082)for this idea) would be even better since the generic "useful, shows some effort..." clearly does not fit to every community.
