The code for the hot post selection can be found in the app/controllers/application_controller.rb file (search for hot_questions). Eligible for Hot Posts are all Questions or Articles that have...
During our tour to teach users how to use the site, there's a point where we guide you through asking a question, including adding a title and tags: However, something you have when posting an a...
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...
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...
In addition to the uniqueness issue, there is also the compatibility issue. Usernames can include characters that are invalid in URLs. Those characters would need to be replaced with hexadecimal co...
User names don't have to be unique (and platforms that require uniqueness tend to frustrate people who end up being Mike792 or whatever), so we need the numbers. Given that we need to include the ...
Sometimes, posts can accidentally contain personal information that shouldn't be out on the internet, such as real names, real IP addresses, home addresses, or other pieces of PII (Personally Ident...
I'm assessing Codidact Q&A for use by our organisation, so I want to try out features to compare against our list of requirements. I don't want to be posting bogus questions where they're going...
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...
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...
For bugs, you can use answers to add more information if you have it, for example if you've seen the reported problem under different circumstances or if you have seen something work that is report...
Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post. I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should...
This is not a codidact issue per se, but it affects the avatar functionality: https://unicornify.pictures/avatar/{id}?s=16 fails because unicornify.pictures has an outdated Go version: Go 1.9 is ...
What should be done about comments that don't meet the CoC requirements?[1] As of now, there is no way to flag them, and AFAIK only mods and the author can delete comments ↩︎
It makes it much easier to tell that you're writing or editing a post, for one, instead of looking at a completed post. In addition, it's rather standard practice to have your font be monospace whe...
I expect there will be some desire to import new questions from https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/ is there a process for doing this? I also joined https://topanswers.xyz/databases where they hav...
A feature that SE has that Qpixel lacks is the related questions in the side bar. It makes it easier to find other similar questions or even duplicates. It also creates more engagement because afte...
Is "codidact" some kind of acronym? Or it's a "Co(mpany) Did Act" or something? Or it means something in a language I'm unfamiliar with? Ever since I heard the name of it I've been confused as to w...
I'd disagree here, because I think this is not, how categories should be used. First of all, there shouldn't be too many categories, because the UI becomes confusing, possibly problematic on mobile...
The level of activity of the communities vary. Some are more active than others, which isn't exactly a problem. However, I'm a bit worried when a community becomes significantly less active than ot...
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...
In my notifications box, I had two notifications: You were mentioned in a comment mark unread and New comment on Should we show tags before the body, to provide context for reading the question...
I just noticed a bug related to file extension when uploading pictures to the site. If you have named your file *.JPG the site complains about invalid file extension since it only knows *.jpg. Rena...
