Since a few days, my Firefox add-on Privacy Badger shows me a new tracker originating from analytics.codidact.org. I read the privacy policy and it states that there is analytics going on to improv...
Was reading this Post and I certainly agree with the general differences like open source and non-profit that differentiate Codidact. But the Community vs Repo point leaves some questions. Sure eac...
When users of a Codidact site come up with bugs or feature requests that are not specific to that site: Is it preferable that they post to their local Meta or to Meta.Codidact? Is one of these ...
We don't just spin up communities about topics that interest us personally - all new communities go through the Site Proposal process here on Meta. The process includes making sure that there is a ...
As part of our mission to be a place where communities are fully supported, one of our goals is to make sure our site is accessible for everyone. With that in mind... what can we do better, access...
Response to homework dumps should be site-specific. On Electrical Engineering, we addressed this up front by explicitly mentioning homework in the Allowed Topics help file (See the very last bulle...
This is not something we support, technically or ethically. You're more than welcome to promote content on Codidact communities elsewhere, but you must follow the rules of wherever it is you're pos...
This might sound silly, but ever since I wrote my first post here, I have noticed that the title comes after the body and I find it quite strange. Since I have some activity using Stack Exchange (b...
Whenever a post is edited, the question is automatically bumped to the top of the category post list. This is useful for major changes to posts because people can see that something has changed. H...
Today there was a request to remove user's account. This user has some Qs which were transported(converted) to System user. But comments are disappeared. Though there is a possibility that user re...
We know from over 10 years of experience from SE/SO that one of the most common sources of drama, snark, rudeness, escalating arguments, conflicts, users feeling unwelcome, the community getting ...
Quoting is sometimes necessary for context. Sometimes an answer needs to focus on one part of the question -- one claim, one line of code, etc. Not being able to quote would impede clarity. This...
Something that occurred to me after posting the original suggestion would be that an [under-review] tag would be helpful as well. This tag would indicate that the suggestion / bug / whatever is und...
I have published this post in Unix and Linux StackExchange. I want to post it here as well (in Software Development Codidact), because it didn't get answers on U&L SE. I cannot delete my post...
Sometimes the number of posts indicated in the tags list does not match the number of posts displayed for that tag. This appears to be due to the inclusion of deleted posts in the displayed number....
Pushed a fix right now, should be coming with the next deploy: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/commit/fa009b5663412f7346346c532bb5bfe5d6929b4d Update: Changes have been pushed out.
The banner at the top of a question when the question is closed as a duplicate says in part "This question has been answered before" (example). That really should say "This question has been asked...
When I type in the edit window, Codidact seems to use my default monospaced font (Iosevka SS08). But when a code block is displayed, why doesn't it use the same? I feel like it makes more sense to...
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...
I accidentally closed a tab with a question and lost some changes so I do feel your pain. However, if we are going to fire an event on window exit I would much rather it be saving the draft in its...
The redesigned profile that came with the abilities branch now also shows a proper breakdown. Example:
Making the "Earned Abilities" heading on the profile page link to the full list (/abilities) seems like a good way to solve this. It avoids adding one more tab on the profile (which is already con...
In the Help center article Answer scoring and ordering there is an image with a broken URL, so it does not render: As you see, the image linked with https://meta.codidact.com/assets/scoring_...
Should I be able to see the suggested edit? I would suggest not. It's better to interact with the post in its current state, whatever that is; doing so makes it much clearer after the fact wha...
On the abilities page, I noticed that there is one broken link that leads to a 404 error. It's the edit tags ability. Here is the link markdown: https://meta.codidact.com/abilities/edit_tagd. I t...
