Markdown does have a standard these days - CommonMark. We generally support anything that's in the CommonMark specification, plus some other useful bits. If you hover over the buttons in the toolb...
As of the time of writing, this request has the [status-completed] tag despite the change not being live yet. It is completely developed, sure, but since it is not yet deployed, should the request ...
I agree that no one should expect a volunteer to do some work Full-stop. The Codidact community team have accepted to be the staff This is the basic, incorrect assumption at the root of your th...
When editing an answer, there's sometimes reason to look at the question again (I just had such a case). Therefore I think it would be a good idea if the question would be shown on the page where y...
No, making useless edits just to bump the post isn't something that we want to encourage on Codidact communities. Edits should be to improve the post and that's it. Looking at the reasoning for bu...
Emphasize the site name over the network Currently, in the top left corner, where it says meta.codidact.com, while the site name portion ("meta") is in boldface, it's also in a slightly smaller ty...
By clicking first on the inbox icon in the top bar, then the site selector down arrow, it's possible to open both at the same time. However, it's not particularly useful, as the inbox dropdown will...
For some reason, Cloudflare has apparently decided that my browser is untrustworthy as of late, and want to do something to "check" it before allowing me to access Codidact. That's a snag, but wou...
Regarding politics in user profiles: I think the contents of the user profile should be relevant: that is, describe who you are, what you do, what you like etc. If it's relevant that you are for e...
Should tag editing be separate from post editing? By that I mean having a specific workflow to modify the tags of a question, different from the workflow to edit the content. Intuitively, I believe...
It's been a while since you asked this and, sadly, we still haven't implemented suggested edits for tag pages so there would be a way to gain approved suggested edits. I agree it's frustrating. M...
I'm not sure if this is actually an answer or not, but as suggested in a comment thread, I'll put it out there and see what happens. My understanding is that Fediverse / ActivityPub support doesn'...
For the reasons you already alluded to, rendering -- as em-dash by default is dangerous, see discussions on a Similarly Engineered site. This is particularly true in question titles since they don'...
I was surprised to find that ordinary user privileges allow me to close my own posts unilaterally. It does seem useful; just now I posted something on Linux Systems and realized it needed some fixe...
I was confused by the unusual layout of text below a post in the question list: Note the long gap after "posted 3y ago by". Viewing the individual question page shows the underlying cause: T...
I disagree that this would be desirable. First, unless we want people to focus on the user, instead of the content, who posts something should have little or no bearing on anything. Act on whether ...
Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description. Currently, Codidact se...
First off - comments aren't the proper place for feature requests such as increasing the size of the comment box. For a feature request, please ask a new question. Secondly, your comments were dele...
Hover state changes shouldn't cause elements to change size As an example, try using a mouse on desktop to hover over some of the tags in the questions with more than one tag. The change of font ...
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...
Background: the information content being presented In principle, the number of upvotes and number of downvotes on a post are two orthogonal pieces of information, that collectively tell you the c...
I thought the best way to respond to this answer would be with a sketch. The answer raises a few key points: Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose. Show me where there...
A community with common interests is a part of it too. At Some Other place somebody wanted to combine all the Abrahamic religion sites into one, arguing that they share a lot of biblical books and...
Can the display order of help pages for a site be explicitly set somehow? I'm starting to create help pages for a new site, and would like to set the order they are shown in. For example, I'd like...
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 ...
