We have just pushed some updates related to tags. You will now see a "tags" link in the category bar (next to "posts"), which leads to a searchable list of all tags. Selecting an individual tag t...
Lessons learnt from the past I've been at SO pretty much from the start. It is true that SO has sub-communities in a sense. Each major programming language (tag) has their own flavour of slightly d...
I have proposed a number of possible solutions. At the moment though, they are grand ideas awaiting both consensus on what to implement and then programmer(s) to actually implement them. Due to oth...
I agree that on a list of questions, one clear indicator of fitness is most helpful. On a post's own page, it might make more sense to also show the up- and down-vote counts. Given that the "score,...
We had (and unfortunately still have) a nasty troll, that attempts to downvote all the questions and creates sock accounts for that to escape suspensions. To stop them, we had to employ some limita...
An [idea] is for when you have an idea for a site but you don't have the community to go with it. The hope is that by posting it here, you find like-minded folks who will help you build the site. A...
Various things, not all of them understood, affect the accuracy of the reported reputation number. For example, sometimes a post is deleted or undeleted but the reputation adjustments don't get ma...
I added some comments to a post, and the number of current comments wasn't updated until I refreshed the page.
Update (2020-12-29): I've sent emails to everyone who is eligible to get a t-shirt or stickers. I'm sorry that it took a while, but you know, life happens. It's been an interesting year so far and ...
I'm little bit unsure about badges. They are a tool you can use for gamification (so to speak: participate in that or that way to gain that or that badge) but also a tool to show what someone has a...
This username shouldn't be allowed: . . It's hard to even see that it is a username link most of the time, it's probably problematic for @ commenting...
After discovering keyboard shortcuts, I noticed a problem: The keyboard shortcuts for going to individual categories (like g c 1) don't do anything for me. Note that the shortcut for the category...
It would be nice if on pages with several subpages (like the posts page, with the previous/next and page number bar on bottom), there would be a shortcut to go to the previous/next page in the list...
Being able to see a list of users and how many times they have votes was useful on the old sites to see which users were engaged in the voting. What I would propose is that on the /users page that...
Does Codidact have a community that can fit this question from Quora? Scientific Speculation? Pre-suppose the background and context in the TV series Man in High Castle. If you remember the deta...
There is reference to "positive reception rate" for posts in the discussion on how to earn some abilities, for example the Vote on Holds ability. What exactly does "positive reception" mean in thi...
Title before body in post editor There has been much discussion about the fact that the title is put after the body of the post when writing a question. I, and a number of others, find this unint...
I liked this answer where some external program was used to keep track of interested users. Generally, you would divide interested users in three groups: Potential moderators. Core users. Casu...
We've had a number of requests for a "Hot Network Questions"-like feature, promoting good content from around the network. That's more complex than it sounds on the surface, because there's no easy...
For a while now, the reputation topic has (re-)surfaced repeatedly with the the Codidact team taking a slight stance to remove reputation in the long run. Everytime this was mentioned, there were a...
I broadly agree, with two main caveats, one about what to delete, and one about how we go about it. By "what to delete", I'm looking at your point that: We may lose a few stray locally-grown an...
With a bit of effort, you can even do this: I think the code that shows the notification count draws the notification "container" (the blue circle) once, and then just updates the number from so...
If a question already has 10 answers, less chance I can add anything new. Some people may like to focus on unanswered questions. Let's distinguish between what's relevant and irrelevant with text ...
We have moved the post date/time and license info to the left side, along with the edit info. This separates the metadata about the post from the information about the user who posted it. We have...
