I would argue that this feature should be opt out, rather than opt in. That is, everyone should receive email for their notifications (answers to their questions or comments on their posts) unless ...
An alternative would be to remove the list altogether. There is already an "Other communities" link in the footer that links to the full list on codidact.com and the communities in the list are als...
By default all edits should show Every time an edit is made, the post or its parent should move to the top of the question list. This reduces the chance of an edit being missed by the community. ...
My own view is that even minor edits are valuable, even on old posts. I appreciate that there will sometimes be reason to reject such edits, but I would not personally take the age of a post into a...
Thanks for spotting this. I've just checked and the typo is also present in the database seed that is used for setting up new communities, so it needs to be fixed there too to avoid this happening ...
Good idea, not just for closed questions I like the idea of hiding the sorting buttons when they serve no purpose. I see no reason to restrict this to closed questions. If the visibility of the so...
I like this idea, but I wonder if it should be optional. For the link to search results that you mention, that sounds sufficiently unobtrusive that perhaps it wouldn't need to be optional. I think...
Intrinsic & extrinsic motivation, and perverse incentives It is clear that your intentions are good, but the outcomes may not be. Intrinsic or extrinsic? People's motivation for making edits...
ArtOfCode's answer covers true A/B testing, which involves a randomised experiment and the system to support it. However, the question sounds as if it is also considering the ability for individua...
The front page can already be customised by each user, and more customisation is planned. If you think of specific improvements that could be made (such as being able to choose between the dashboar...
From How to ask a great question in the help section: If you put your question title into a search engine, can you find the answer to your question in the first three results? If so, perhaps con...
While that page is being edited, there's a typo that could be fixed at the same time: There are 6 Abilities you can earn on this site (not neccessarily in this order): Note that this is corre...
Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact ...
I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across. Welcome to Codidact! Thank you for sharing your suggestions for improvem...
This is perhaps a longer term solution, with slightly broader scope than the question, but I'm mentioning it for consideration since the question made me think of it. It still makes sense to implem...
I'd like to make charts of user and community stats These could involve a large amount of data as the site grows, so should probably be links to a location that generates them once a day and/or ca...
Explanations for the current behaviour Rendered text is not small after saving The <small> tag is not one of the currently supported HTML tags. Supported tags and attributes are discussed i...
The cause of the lost line spacing The raw text of your post is converted to HTML ready to be displayed by your web browser. The text is split into paragraphs based on the presence of blank lines,...
I'd like to host contests that read code directly from answers Here's what I'd like to see in an API to allow me to host coding contests on Code Golf Codidact. Essential This is the only feature...
I see the described behaviour in Firefox but not in Chromium. Operating System: Fedora 38 Firefox version: 116.0 Chromium version: 115.0.5790.102 Example of a Post History page where this b...
I suspect the add ons and fork mentioned are not relevant. I see a persistent notification circle on standard Firefox with no add ons. It doesn't seem to be completely consistent but the general be...
Wary of trying to be too general Although I like the idea of this for making sure indications of interest don't last indefinitely on Codidact Proposals, trying to find a general use for expiring r...
Moderator only tags Another existing feature that might be relevant as part of a solution: some tags can only be added by a moderator, such as "status-completed". If "voltage" is created as a mode...
I like this, but... I've often wanted this feature. I feel bad about cluttering the top of the question list when I make a minor typo fix on an old post. However, having thought about it more ove...
Why I like I like the idea of a button that shows me the raw Markdown (or MathJax or HTML depending on the post) so I can see how certain styles are achieved. I too find the "Edit" button unsatisf...
