I've seen a pattern of certain users downvoting on site proposals, not because they are against the proposal itself but rather against the concept of launching a new community. Without calling out ...
I would prefer to post questions in Codidact than on Stack Exchange and I want to contribute to Codidact by doing so. However, I am certain that the probability of getting a useful answer is higher...
If there is a proper footnote (using the links) in the question of the post and in any of the answers1, and you click on a footnote in the answer, it will lead to the footnote that is part of the q...
I am starting to think about user preferences. This won't happen for a while, but I'd like to gather input so we can start thinking about a functional design. Currently a user has a single account...
status-completed Favorite tags It's an idea I was thinking about since a while ago, but wouldn't it be nice if users could choose 'favorite' tags, and they would be highlighted in some way on the...
I have asked 7 questions and answered 2 questions. Sometimes I go to my profile to visit my old questions and answers. I notice that the answers and questions are grouped together. There's a tag fo...
I've looked around for information on an existing or planned public API for Codidact but I haven't yet found one. I'm not sure if this means it was decided not to include it in the MVP or if it exi...
We just made an account, and haven't done anything at all yet. No questions, no answers. So why do we have "Participate Everywhere"? According to the ability page, it looks like we would need a mi...
You're right, and that's been on our to-do list for a while, sorry. You can send email to support@codidact.com. We have a support portal under development; email actually flows into that now and ...
Keep the "expand"/"preview" action link in place Another small detail, but something that has a tendency to annoy me. If I click on "expand" for a question, it does indeed expand to show more text...
It is probably not controversial to say that if you're creating a tag, you should add a description for it. Otherwise, how will anyone else know what you intended the tag to be used for? Unfortuna...
There is a difference between a flag ("this requires action that only a moderator can take") and a downvote, which expresses an opinion about the post that the community can decide how to respond t...
Any text you didn't write yourself must be set off in a quote box and attributed. I believe this is already existing policy, and applies regardless of where the quoted text came from (like anoth...
We generally attempt to contact users. We can't guarantee that the address originally provided still works, or that our message won't be filtered by your email provider, but we do make the attempt...
The reason Discord was chosen is disappointingly simple: It's just the chat software I used and knew best when I invited some people over from Stack Exchange to start this project. The Discord serv...
When I flag a post for moderator attention, an acknowledgement message appears, but if I revisit the post later there is no indication that I have flagged it. I would find it useful to have an indi...
We've just released a new feature that allows for redaction of revision histories. This feature was originally developed by @Taeir for use in his university's private instance in order to redact c...
Codidact and TopAnswers are independent projects, which share much of the same sentiment: a free and open source platform for Q&A with focus on the communities. I think their relationship can b...
Partial answer, which I hope to flesh out later (but probably won't have time today): I hope that people will ask questions here, regardless of whether they've been asked elsewhere, when someone h...
My patience is running thin with code formatting on Codidact. I've made this feature request before on Software Development only (here) but no reply. We currently have 5 communities which definite...
While the current notification system is okay, I'd like to be able to receive email notifications for things such as a new answer to my questions. (Of course, this should be opt-in. Maybe add a che...
The site claims I edited this post 6 hours ago: https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/276256 6 hours ago I was very much asleep since that's around 4am here. I don't remember editing this post ...
Based on all the feedback here (and also on the related site proposals), I put forth this proposal: Create a single Software Development site, planning from the start for spinoffs. Here's how I se...
On SE, there is a follow option, and you get notified when any activity on that question occurs. Can we have that same feature implemented?
Is it a problem if specific users harvest highly-voted questions on SE, then self answer, to farm a huge amount of rep? And if so, what can we do to prevent it? I haven't seen it happen, but askin...
