What is repo/reputation? Reputation is just number. Any user can know how active you are in Codidact by seeing your repo. Why reputation is needed? As @Monica Cellio answered is a next-generatio...
Welcome to Codidact. I'm glad you found your way here. In case you haven't seen it yet, The Codidact Vision lays out, at a high level, what we aspire to build. We put community first, and feedba...
As sau226 mentioned, this is the score of the post. Since the way we calculate post score can be a little confusing, there's a help center article that explains exactly how it works. I agree that ...
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....
I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief descriptio...
Actually Codidact should support rep better than it does now. Most of the dislike of rep seems to come from a misunderstanding of its purpose. It's not to show who is "better" somehow, but a meas...
We didn't set out to have a reputation stat, but because we started by adapting code that had it, we started out that way. When we brought up removing it, a few people objected strongly. (See, fo...
I had visited Codidact quite some time ago when it was still being built. At that time, there weren't many talks about having the reputation system built on this site. Partly, The reason why Slack...
The process for site proposals here seems to be that someone makes a post, then (usually) Monica comes in with an answer asking for anyone interested in the site to comment in order to gauge intere...
SE sites (that aren't in beta) have "community ads", which are ads submitted by users on that site for things they think will be of interest to other users on that site. Some use them to promote S...
Tag search is now completed. The help isn't updated yet, but: to use a tag in a search, use the syntax tag:tagname. You can use the - operator with it, same as for other search terms. Searching ...
Each category header includes an "Edits" link, which is a link to a list of pending suggested edits in the current category. But nothing alerts people with the ability to approve those edits that ...
Site-level settings These settings apply across all parts of a community. Unless the category-level settings say otherwise, they can't be overridden for individual categories. General: Name ...
I am noticing an event which I don't know if would be considered a bug. Do the following: Open notification tab. (when you have one or more unread notification) Click on any notification. The ...
Whenever I post a question it takes a long time for someone to answer it. I do not know if someone is atleast active in the community or not. I know this community is to help each other's problems ...
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...
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 ...
Elaborating on the thoughts of @PeterCooperJr., it might be sensible to provide some meta statistics on each site on the main and / or "Ask Question" page. For example, it might be viable to disp...
This discussion has been split into the following posts: Enlarge font size for number of answers? Streamline the top? Move Meta to the top row? Align Right "last activity" phrase? Move posted...
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...
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...
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...
(Personal opinion, not official anything.) I'm one of the people who, from the beginning, wanted to change how we handle reputation, because while Someplace Else got some things right with it, the...
Whatever it is called, we still need a nice simple single number that is a rough measure of how much good content someone has contributed, as judged by all others on that site. "Reputation" is a r...
