I wanted to close one of my own meta posts as duplicate, but accidentally pasted the URL to the question I was closing. The site accepted that the post got closed as duplicate to itself. In my opi...
After hitting the "Cancel" button when writing or editing a post, a prompt shows up that says Any unsaved changes will be lost. Are you sure? [Okay] [Cancel] Hitting [Okay] will kick you out...
Because Codidact doesn't want to be a clone of SE but rather be its own thing, and that for good reasons. Of course, every launched community over at Stack Exchange could be copied and transferred...
I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across. Welcome to Codidact! Thank you for sharing your suggestions for improvem...
In short: codidact.org is about the project that aims to produce the Codidact Q&A software, the source code for which (currently QPixel, licensed under AGPL-3.0) is available on Github. codidac...
On a list of questions or posts, each entry has a "last activity" indicator showing who last changed it and when. Would it be possible to have "last activity" be a link to the post that changed? ...
I started writing an answer on Scientific Speculation and accidentally submitted it in a very incomplete state. Then my toddler came by and started making it hard to work on the stub. So, using my ...
Historical note: When this post was written, we planned to use the QPixel software as a stopgap while building a new Codidact platform from scratch. That's not what we ended up doing. Since early ...
@manassehkatz has already answered what you're directly asking about here, in how the organisation is financed. But there's also this: While this partially answers my question about who runs this ...
I have been testing the Codidactyl Tour and it looks pretty promising, congratulations on the idea and its implementation. In comments to its announcement I see references about the problems with ...
Don't call it "expand", call it "preview" Minor detail, but since the purpose of that feature seems to be to preview more of a post than just the title, let's just call it preview instead. It's a...
Recently, we had a question asked about priorities of the 'community team'1. The poster then self-answered (which is fine). This answer then got deleted2 and a different user asked a question about...
You own your posts and are free to do with them as you choose, including posting them in more than one place -- here, Stack Exchange, Quora, Reddit, etc. By posting on Codidact you grant us a lice...
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...
We have some software (but not software-development) proposals: "Superuser-like" community for software applications office suites Linux Are these three separate, distinct commu...
I would not merge everything together, but rather have the following communities: leave Software Development as it is Power User community separate and define a category for Office suites have...
Basically, I'd ideally want something like "asked 3 days ago by A, last activity 1 day ago by B". Having just the person without the question creation date would be significantly less useful but...
Is it possible to accept an answer? How can I do that?
Not at the moment, and it's not a planned feature. To be able to do this, we'd need to find a way to design the feature to avoid abuse - if you could notify Jon Skeet on every C# question you ever ...
Since Codidact was founded, we have had one rule leading our path every step of the way. It's the rule that community comes first. That the Codidact "staff" shouldn’t overrule the community, but co...
Currently, when editing a post the system will automatically save a draft for you after a short period of inactivity. This draft will then be loaded again if you leave the page and return, even if ...
For obvious reasons, we do not allow you to use any tag or attribute you want. All tags, that aren't on a special inclusion list are stripped from the input. There are two lists, one for posts and...
Can there be an option to cancel writing a comment; AFAIK, the only way to do that now is to refresh the page, which is annoying to do (especially when feeling lazy).
I think a system where sites can somehow nominate questions for broader publicity would be helpful, but I don't think we want to repeat the mistakes SE made with hot network questions. We've talke...
