I'm planning to add a public API to Codidact so people can make applications that read Codidact data automatically. Features and purposes I have my own purposes in mind for this[1], but there are...
status-completed Just a minor concern: I don't think a single person should be the point of contact, maybe set up something like access@codidact.org. That is, if it even needs a dedicated mail a...
Here at Codidact, we believe that everyone deserves to have access to information and to be a part of a community. "Everyone" includes people with disabilities, and so that means making our site an...
For bugs, you can use answers to add more information if you have it, for example if you've seen the reported problem under different circumstances or if you have seen something work that is report...
Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post. I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should...
User names don't have to be unique (and platforms that require uniqueness tend to frustrate people who end up being Mike792 or whatever), so we need the numbers. Given that we need to include the ...
I'm assessing Codidact Q&A for use by our organisation, so I want to try out features to compare against our list of requirements. I don't want to be posting bogus questions where they're going...
Sometimes, posts can accidentally contain personal information that shouldn't be out on the internet, such as real names, real IP addresses, home addresses, or other pieces of PII (Personally Ident...
In addition to the uniqueness issue, there is also the compatibility issue. Usernames can include characters that are invalid in URLs. Those characters would need to be replaced with hexadecimal co...
October 2024 The user profile now includes the "all communities" tab, which links to all of the user's profiles on the network. Along with each link it shows the total number of posts and rep...
It looks to me like the session cookie that holds one's user session credentials is currently bound to the specific site. The result of this is that you need to sign in separately to, say, Scientif...
Currently, we're planning to implement a system for user privileges based on Trust Levels. These are of the form of 'if you satisfy [these requirements], you get [these perks]', where [these requir...
(Personal opinion, not official anything.) I'm one of the people who, from the beginning, wanted to change how we handle reputation, because while Someplace Else got some things right with it, the...
I personally like the idea of knowing how many people have viewed my posts. Even if it's only shown for the person who posted the question
It's great to hear that you are interested in helping us funding our project. That's like really excitingly awesome. Unfortunately, we don't want to accept donations until we have a proper legal st...
When I type something in the tag box, a list of similarly named tags is produced, along with the actual thing I typed, and I can click to select the tag I want. If I type something with spaces (e.g...
On answers, the "last activity" notice tells the time when the answer was edited and the user who edited it. For example, https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278908/history correctly states who edited ...
I love the editor, it is so white and clean. I think the idea of having the title field at the bottom is genius. It lets you collect your thoughts and make a really meaningful title. I have a co...
I am trying to run QPixel on my local computer. I tried all instruction from readme.md, but unfortunately I got some errors. where can i ask about it? On this meta or Software Development or must o...
As this answer says, yes, absolutely -- it's your work and you're free to post it here. While you're doing so, please see if you can improve it too. Instead of just copying stuff, let's make it b...
Each category header includes an "Edits" link, which is a link to a list of pending suggested edits in the current category. But nothing alerts people with the ability to approve those edits that ...
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...
It is a status badge. A gray circle means that there is at least one post that you have not read (or, more strictly, saw/check) so far. If you navigate to a category with gray-status and then retu...
Unfortunately, we currently don't have a network-wide search engine. I think this is the first time it's been brought up. If there's interest in such a feature, someone can write a feature request...
All our posts are indexed and have applicable meta tags in the page. Search Console confirms that we are showing up in Google search results. Our biggest problem is our still-small size: the more ...
