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...
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...
Horrible hacky dark mode Until there's a real dark mode, here are some quick CSS hacks that you can try out in the developer window of your browser, and add to a userscript or user stylesheet if y...
There are things I like here, but I don't think all of it will work. I like the following: Welcoming specific questions rather than only general questions. Including hints at more general solu...
Subtle difference, big change The difference between what we have now (a group of distinct communities) and what you propose (a single community with filters) seems subtle, but I believe the long ...
Awkward workaround is acceptable until this feature is implemented You are correct, there is not yet a better way to contact a moderator than the awkward workaround you mentioned (flagging an unre...
Prevent zero only I'm comfortable with preventing users from posting zero character comments and posts. I agree there are times when insisting on 15 characters is unhelpful. For comments, I se...
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...
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...
Switch off animation until a decision is made I've posted an answer listing possible options which can be discussed over time, but I recommend that in the meantime animation is suppressed complete...
From Discord's announcement: In addition, your previous username and discriminator will continue to work as an alias after the conversion process is done, so old friends who don’t know your new ...
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...
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...
Here is what your answer looks like on my machine: You can see that the bullet points are rendered correctly, so it sounds like it is the rendering of bullet points on your machine that is probl...
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...
This is an interesting proposal. Although I think it would be detrimental in its current form, I'd like to emphasise that I would like to see more discussion of potential modifications to the way t...
Personally, I am not currently looking to learn Ruby and contribute to QPixel, but I am interested in occasionally browsing Codidact Collab to see what's happening. I only discovered it through a ...
In support of unique favicons A common logo to bring the communities together In response to another answer, which says: it has a very important disadvantage of diluting the platform image (th...
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...
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 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...
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 ...
I was in the middle of drafting a very similar Meta question when I noticed this one had just been posted. I will instead post my thoughts here as an answer, to prompt further discussion. I see the...
SVG is only supported in an img tag SVG is only supported inside an HTML <img> tag, or a Markdown image link (which is rendered as an <img> tag behind the scenes). The image upload bu...
I altered a few settings to give some options. None of these are finished but should hopefully give starting points for further discussion of which things to change and how much. The effects are ex...
