When collecting feedback, it helps to reduce barriers as much as possible. A common (and useful) technique is to have a little popup asking for a rating. Usually this is a Likert scale with a promp...
It was previously noted that Codidact does not support explicit spoiler tags, although it's possible to hide blocks of text in collapsible sections (using <details> and <summary> HTML)....
To answer the question of what the behavior is: in a dev environment, I created a post with two code blocks, one containing spaces and one containing tabs. I couldn't just type the tabs into the p...
It depends what you mean by "business". Questions about the process of developing software, or "life cycle management", are on topic for Software. However, we'd want them to be from the perspectiv...
Prompted by comments in this comment thread - I agree that it's often very difficult to get feedback from new users in the meta area of a community, especially one that has custom software on top o...
While this question is of particular interest to the technical sites, and especially to Software, it concerns core site functionality. I figured it would be more polite to ask than to make a "sandb...
There are sometimes unfortunate differences in the preview and final rendering, due to having to use different libraries for client-side and server-side rendering. I don't know if there's anything...
None currently, as I understand the scope of the existing communities.
The title is the question: What community would be appropriate to ask a business question about software development?
I'm a bit hesitant to write this since it's not generally a good idea to walk into a host's house and immediately criticize the way it's laid out. But there really is only one chance to make first ...
status-completed Just a minor concern: I don't think a single person should be the point of contact, maybe set up something like access@codidact.org. That is, if it even needs a dedicated mail a...
Here at Codidact, we believe that everyone deserves to have access to information and to be a part of a community. "Everyone" includes people with disabilities, and so that means making our site an...
Thanks to Moshi, we now have some checks in the editor, so you'll now get a message about unsupported elements.
We've added some better guidance in the UI, including the score ranges (0-1) and a link to the scoring help. The layout isn't as nice as it would be if the work had been done by someone with a dee...
We have removed the "needs author's attention" flag, which I believe addresses the remaining issues raised here. Marking status-complete; please let us know if we missed anything.
I would like that too. Unfortunately, this would require some major code reworking. Sessions are currently stored client-side via cookies, and our developers tell me that moving them into the data...
Not yet, but this is a functional gap that we want to fix. Currently, moderators can silently rename threads; we want to allow anybody who is involved in the thread to change its title with public...
It happens to me all the time that I write a comment - as the first of a new thread of comments - and then either overlook giving it a title, or expect that the default title will be good enough an...
Why show scores at all? When I was at Stack Exchange, we spent a good deal of time discussing sort orders in the context of obsolete answers. One suggestion was to change the sort order to use Wil...
The presence of an answer already blocks deletion (except by moderators, who can override this). Allowing the presence of a comment to prevent deletion would be too easy to abuse, as pointed out i...
In addition to what Monica wrote, yes, a bug report or a feature request is indeed a "call-to-action to the developers", and as such can only really be answered by the developers. Let me introduce...
When I click flag there is a menu that shows up showing the reasons, like spam, rude, needs author's attention, etc. But how can I close the menu without refreshing the page? I do not see an 'X' wi...
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...
