The Dashboard is an easy way to get an overview of the whole network at a glance; on a single page, you can see where there's been new activity that you haven't seen yet, on a category-by-category ...
Post titles are now self-links, and in addition, the "Copy Link" control (everywhere) now offers two options, raw and markdown:
Of course! You will find the answer if you ask what the purpose of Codidact is. Codidact is not a helpdesk, but a knowledge repository. So yes, part of the purpose of Codidact, is to answer your o...
From How to ask a great question in the help section: If you put your question title into a search engine, can you find the answer to your question in the first three results? If so, perhaps con...
Such questions are accepted and encouraged, by design It's not our idea, or a new idea, either. It's fundamental to the design and concept of Q&A sites, Codidact included. People who actually...
The first question to ask when considering a change of architecture is why? What benefits would a modular architecture bring, and would it outweigh the drawback of having to re-write the entire sys...
Not in the forseeable future. Building a system to A-B test new features takes time, as does the analysis afterwards. While we're still a small team, it's more effective for us to collect feedback ...
Currently when viewing a post, there is no indication that it's being used as a duplicate target. As a curator, it's useful information to me that when I view a question, I am also informed if any...
What is the bug? Found a way to produce a 404 by clicking on the site's own links. How to reproduce Go to the homepage. On the right side you will see a tab like this Now click on "all new...
If edits are made to a large number of posts in a short period, they will push everything else off the front page, taking visibility away from recent questions and answers. They will also take visi...
I have some concerns: Complexity AsciiDoc is unnecessarily complicated. From what I have seen, Codidact runs just fine on Markdown. Even much larger platform Stack Overflow doesn't seem in that m...
One threat model is the nearby person at the coffeeshop (or whatever) being able to scan the large QR code that comes up as soon as you click that button in the header. Many other things in the he...
I'm reviewing a number of Q&A platforms for use by our internal Software Engineering community. Our implementation of a Q&A platform would ideally be hosted internally or on a private accou...
Awkward workaround is acceptable until this feature is implemented You are correct, there is not yet a better way to contact a moderator than the awkward workaround you mentioned (flagging an unre...
I definitively agree with the premise of the suggestion, but instead of getting rid of all/most additional input fields and instead of making it a per-instance/per-community thing (which both are g...
When you click on the "Mobile Sign-In" button, you are shown a QR code that, when scanned with your phone, opens your browser on the phone and signs you in automatically. Although I can see how th...
Is it possible to tag users by their handle. E.g. Oh hey @da5nsy do you have an answer for this question? It doesn't look like it does, because names are not hyperlinked but then I saw @manass...
No. If you want an em dash, you can use the HTML entity as you stated or just use the Unicode character. People who really want an em dash have figured out what they need to do to get it. People wh...
As the title says. Rationale: I'm in the process of giving tags on EE.CD some structure and I feel that sometimes a group of tags could be usefully grouped under a parent which doesn't exist yet. ...
Often I see a post which uses a formatting that I'd like to learn or to directly "steal". To see how it is done I'm forced to click the edit button, which is prone to mistakes and really doesn't se...
Motivation I have the feeling (obviously biased ;) that some feature requests get forgotten over time. I absolutely do not claim that it is anyone's fault but that they naturally become less visib...
I recently left a comment on a post, but now the comment thread ended up with a fragment of (the first version of) my comment as its title, including some ugly markdown rendered literally. I would...
The problem Almost three years ago we introduced Abilities to Codidact as an improved system for granting activity-based permissions, such as allowing users who have made consistently great edit s...
In my profile, it includes this guidance: Discord Your Discord user tag, in the format username#1234. Discord is in the process of removing discriminators (a discriminator is the #1234). Whi...
One place in which I'm finding that more friction at Codidact than I was expecting is creating links to other questions with the question title as the anchor text. I'm going to use https://meta.co...
