Follow the "Contact us" link in the page footer In the footer of (I believe every) page, there is a "Contact us" link. Following that takes you to a page that describes how to report issues, speci...
One of the concerns of How can we grow this community posts (see on Power Users and on Linux Systems) is that the sites may not be active enough, resulting in a poor first impression. If my calcul...
Based on feedback to this answer and other conversations, I propose the following: Allow anybody with the Curate ability to edit the title at any time (this is true today). Allow the crea...
When I move the mouse over the “posted … ago” text below a post, I get a tooltip with the actual posting time. However if I do the same on the last edited field (the one with the pencil at front), ...
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...
Yes, you can. Codidact’s platform is open-source for a reason. Anyone can clone the repositories and use the software however they want, provided that you follow the terms of the license that the ...
S.E. provides links to comments. Can Codidact do same please?
We eventually do plan on having integrated chat, including different access levels for different user groups (such as moderators). However, we do not have the resources (such as available developer...
Bootstrapping. Our communities are still small, so after we rolled out the abilities system we decided to put all our communities in "new community" mode, which lets everyone start with Participat...
It was an old project developed by ArtOfCode before the Codidact project even started: https://forum.codidact.org/t/i-have-an-se-clone-how-do-we-feel-about-building-on-that/74 (Why it was named Q...
Sort posts in one's own profile by score or age The profile main page includes a selection of posts (currently top 15 by score), which highlights contributions by that user. It would be nice if i...
I have recently opened an account here and I find that have already posted. There are posts attributed to me on Writing, marked as having been sourced from StackExchange. A (pseudo)user has been ...
I'm surprised that we don't seem to already have a Meta question about this specifically. You claim your posts by linking your Codidact account with your Stack Exchange account. To do that, click ...
The code for the hot post selection can be found in the app/controllers/application_controller.rb file (search for hot_questions). Eligible for Hot Posts are all Questions or Articles that have...
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...
I'd like to propose a different way of thinking about the problem (and I agree there are problems here). Some premises: New users don't know how things work, so we need to keep it simple. ...

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've fixed this for a bunch more of these characters, but there are endless numbers of Unicode characters that can be abused to do things like this. Solution: don't do this.
Each site and category has a default license that is selected as default for new posts to that category. The license actually assigned to each post is that selected by the user when the post is ini...
