I think reaction might useful in some categories for "question". Here's a category (recipes), since no can answer on that category, so user should have ability to react on those post. So, that futu...
Sometimes several questions are closely related and are best handled as a group, as this answer says. Sometimes the asker (who is, pretty much by definition, less expert than the people who will a...
Why an answer-er should have ability to react on his own answer. I believe he should have ability to react to his post as Outdated. But why they should have ability to react as Worked for me or hel...
No, we should not completely remove them from the question list, making them effectively private or moving them to a dedicated category. While the purpose of these actions seems to be to give thes...
My understanding is that the Creative Commons license gives Codidact the right to repost content from Stack Exchange as long as it credits the originals Yes, the Creative Commons licensed know...
The idea of the developer story on StackOverflow was to present yourself to potential employers. (For further reading see Introducing the Developer Story or Developer story: first impression where ...
Is there a preferred process for making minor fixes such as typos on codidact.org? I've made a commit to a fork but I didn't want to raise a GitHub issue and make a pull request without checking t...
Some communities have MathJax enabled, which allows including mathematical notation in posts. I wondered whether this would extend to the user profile, so I did a test. I edited my profile to incl...
Below each post, at the top of the comment section, is a link to "follow new". The title text displayed when hovering over this link says "Follow all new comment threads on this post". It is clear...
Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact Co...
Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the...
This isn't a bad idea. I'd like the tag system to have some more features. Why tags on answers could be useful Systems and programming languages can have a lot of versions. For example, consider ...
The exchange that provoked this question, happened on one of my answers. I wrote the response to you, to acknowledge your helpful comment, and to notify you that you were indeed right. In addition...
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Then tomorrow, he'll ask for another fish. And you give it to him then too, so he comes back the next day. And the next. And at some point it's no longer...
It's common to hear comments about QA sites being "cluttered", "clogged", "spammed" etc. Even disregarding advertising / off-topic astroturfing etc. (the sort of thing that the "It's spam" fla...
Users vs. questions Personally, I don't care much, if at all, about the motivation behind a question - as long as it isn't a thinly veiled rant or other sort of soapboxing (i.e. is genuinely a que...
Should you assume knowledge of all site rules? Should you assume knowledge of only "main" site rules but not all? I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make here between "all si...
It just occurred to me that it would be nice to have a "spam" reaction feature, to mark a post as potentially harmful while waiting for moderators to delete it. Benefits: Prevent other users fr...
I like this idea. I'm not worried about the potential for "drama" because disruptive users already have many other tools at their disposal (such as, say, posting), and in practice this kind of disr...
It's been a long time since this question was asked, and in the meantime there have been lots of changes to the platform. It turns out we can do most of what you're asking for now, although some k...
Moderators are flawed These volunteers give their time freely and deal with more difficult situations behind the scenes than most users realise. However, as much as I respect and deeply appreciate...
The maximum size limit should not get in the way of legitimate and properly edited images. A 1920 x 1080 screen has 2.1 MPixels. Just about any compression algorithm should be able to get that do...
To answer the original question of how to approach programmer sites, I think a number of important features should be considered. Making relevant versions of OS, programming languages, libraries, ...
tl,dr: You need'nt worry about this yet. When we started this project, it was decided, that we wouldn't want a single "reputation" number, but rather finer more specific numbers, such as for exampl...
Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, espec...
