I'm not opposed in principle, but I don't think the amount of work is likely worthwhile. I imagine this sets you up for weird bugs far into the future. One person can have any number of email ...
Currently, when a question is closed, it is still possible to add an upvote or downvote. One possible reason for closing a question is to allow editing to improve, before re-opening. Would it be b...
Personal opinion, not speaking for the team: I don't think we need a blanket ban on links, but we should make sure such links are actually necessary when used. Sometimes a link to a product listi...
For some reason, Cloudflare has apparently decided that my browser is untrustworthy as of late, and want to do something to "check" it before allowing me to access Codidact. That's a snag, but wou...
When you try to vote and are not logged in, you get an error popup with a 403 like this: However, when you click "react" under a post without being logged in, it seems to error silently instead ...
This is kind of minor so I haven't bothered reporting it before, but it's been there since day 1: the site is inserting a space character after every question title. Example (from here): Newslette...
I think it's reasonable for the person who created the thread to be able to edit the title so long as the only comments are from that user. As soon as there's a comment from someone else, though, ...
Regarding politics in user profiles: I think the contents of the user profile should be relevant: that is, describe who you are, what you do, what you like etc. If it's relevant that you are for e...
The "about" section of your profile, as noted in another answer, provides a place to put whatever content you like, including a proto-CV if you choose. But I think there's a more general idea here...
Using this post purely as an example, because I'm quite sure that the problem is general. Observe: At first, we are told that there are "4 comments": Expanding inline, the summary says 4 of...
Summary: It's different, but maybe not that different and whether it's better or worse - only the future will be able to tell. For information about Codidact see the help center and the Codidact b...
I am wondering if we can have a minimal data explorer for Codidact communities: mirror the publicly available tables/columns in a separate database (can be done once per day to minimize the impa...
I thought the best way to respond to this answer would be with a sketch. The answer raises a few key points: Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose. Show me where there...
November 2022 We've deployed a large backlog of changes made to the code since March: Post lists now show a question preview. We're aware that this might require some further adjustments. Pre...
I realize the question is more about harvesting and reposting others' work here, but there's a special case of reposting I'd like to address. (For the general question, see the other answers.) So...
Feature request: timestamps. Ok, I admit I can be a little obsessive. Plus, if I'm a moderator, I should try to stay on top of things that are happening on my community. This includes new commen...
The icon appears in the "user card": It doesn't appear in the post lists (question list, search results, etc), but it doesn't seem like mod/admin status is important to call out there, where you...
Should tag editing be separate from post editing? By that I mean having a specific workflow to modify the tags of a question, different from the workflow to edit the content. Intuitively, I believe...
Code blocks have a maximum height, after which any extra content scrolls vertically. This can make it tricky to copy the code for testing or adjusting when answering a question, or assessing an ans...
It looks to me as though there is partial support for translation. Compare, for example, the text strings output in app/views/advertisement/index.html.erb and app/views/suggested_edit/category_inde...
I realize that there's a handful of trickier cases, for example anything involving multiple users, but this particular case should be relatively straight-forward. I propose that if the only undele...
Currently, we pass an ID in urls for the category and tag routes. For instance, the Q&A category on this meta site has an ID of 3. In the long term, this makes it harder for people to access c...
As the moderator who reviewed your flag said, downvoting is not necessarily voting fraud. Anyone is free to use their downvotes as they see fit; it's only when someone starts voting on the person n...
When user selects a nickname from the drop-down list with suggestions only first three symbols are replaced:
By clicking first on the inbox icon in the top bar, then the site selector down arrow, it's possible to open both at the same time. However, it's not particularly useful, as the inbox dropdown will...
