Should the post title come before the body? When starting a new post, the first thing that comes to my mind is the topic of the post. In that case I usually first jot down a draft title and then st...
I think the title should come first, just because that's the way every other similar software does it (and because it is confusing having the entry order not match the display order). I really like...
Today I saw the following question on Software Dev (this is the beginning): (rest of post...) The title, "connect with SLOT/SIGNAL:QPushButton clicked signal not received by main window" sounds li...
I've noticed that images uploaded to Codidact don't retain any meta information. That is, they don't keep either the name of the image or the image extension. While the former isn't that bad (alt t...
We don't care about /.../ edit history. I'm going to disagree here, actually. Edits can be substantial in their own right, introducing new content from users other than the original author of the...
Is there a way to see the actual date and time in most significant first ordered form YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS for questions, answers and comments. This was beaten to death at SE and the consensus was ...
I recently changed my username on a site where I used to post coding challenges years ago, to make it clearer that I no longer post there (as I still occasionally receive comments that I may not se...
Comments You are only able to tag users that have interacted with the thread, and the author of the post itself. After typing @ plus the first 3 letters of the username, a popup should appear wher...
Reactions are currently used on CD to: Confirm an answer worked (similar to accepting an answer on SO) Show that an answer is dangerous Indicate interest in participating in a proposed CD site...
Currently, those users that know the least about tag policy are the ones generally creating tags. New users shouldn't be allowed to create tags arbitrarily. It takes some experience with the site...
The trigger in this case is surrounding text with either $latex$ or \(latex\) for inline math $$latex$$ or \[latex\] for "display math" (centered and on a new line) The MathJax parser is sma...
Early for the Codidact sites, it seemed like importing content from SE might be a good way to get a new site going quickly. Now with the clarity of hindsight, we can see that this didn't work. Th...
I think the current information in a user profile is very limited . In my opinion, the following information should be added: Visible to all users The number of questions and answers The number...
From our earliest discussions of what the Codidact platform would be, we've known that we had to tackle comments. Comments are very important for giving feedback and asking for clarifications. So...
The team has made some improvements to search, including the following new options (taken from the search help): filtering by user If you want to search for posts written by a particular user...
Should we remove such fluff? ... If we should remove fluff, should we remove all kinds of fluff? Or are there exceptions? (e.g. "emoticons are fine"). ... Does (or should) the policy depend on wh...
Right now, the help center is structured with a main landing page with sections containing lists of specific help content, with each of these contents being on specific pages (example). That's fine...
I don't know enough to have a full answer, but one differentiation that I think makes sense is for embedded systems programming versus more commonplace programming (desktop, web, server, ...). The ...
The Codidact functional specification calls for changes to answer ordering; we just haven't gotten that far in implementation yet. (Scroll down to the "Votes and Scores" section.) For each questi...
With today's deploy this is [status-completed]. We now display post scores as up/down splits instead of a total, and answers are sorted by a score calculated based on vote counts, instead of by a s...
Bug in displaying footnote links^[example source]. Displays in preview window, but doesn't display in post on Chrome. What I see when I post:
If I disable images on Codidact, I get, naturally, a broken image instead. However, instead of the alt text that is supposed to show up instead, I get... nothing. I just added alt text to this answ...
Featured Posts One neat feature on SE was that mods could mark posts as [featured], and any such-tagged post would appear in a special sidebar widget. That way meta posts which the per-site mods fe...
Administrator. If you hover (or, if you're on mobile, however you display the span title attribute), it'll show a tooltip "Administrator". (I tried to make a screenshot, but for whatever reason can...
Maybe what we need here is some way to close a question as "superseded by" another question; not really a duplicate per se, but something that works similarly from a technical and user perspective,...
