Answering own questions triggers notifications Just now, I was notified that a post was added to one of my questions and coincidentally, the person adding that post was me. Nevertheless, I was notified about that event which seems a bit redundant. (more) |

A: A site for politics Scope As scope, I would like to propose the following. It's drawn from the SE politics site (https://politics.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic) which seems to be a good starting point. Policy matters: cost, benefits, effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of policy introduction or abolitio... (more) |

A: How can we make Codidact more friendly for askers? Elaborating on the thoughts of @PeterCooperJr., it might be sensible to provide some meta statistics on each site on the main and / or "Ask Question" page. For example, it might be viable to display the usual average response time to a given question. Maybe be even more detailed with how long it ... (more) |

Let community ads have a customisable header text There should be the option to customise the heading in the community-promoted network posts as "Could you answer this question?" isn't always applicable. Example: community network ad The post in question is an image competition so there is no real answer to it. It would be more appropriate to ... (more) |

Can we have description of tags when we hover over / click them? With the re-tagging of the site proposal, new tags were introduced. I didn't know the meaning of those, so I hovered over them to see a short description just as I was / am used to doing in the Stack Exchange network, just to notice that this doesn't exist here yet. Can we have short descriptions ... (more) |

Where is the site switcher on mobile? I noticed the new side switcher and really like this feature. Oftentimes, I browse Codidact and read up on posts while I'm on the go and naturally I would like to switch sites as easily as with the desktop version of Codidact now. Where can I find the side switcher on mobile? (more) |

What will become of reputation? For a while now, the reputation topic has (re-)surfaced repeatedly with the the Codidact team taking a slight stance to remove reputation in the long run.

A: Why don't we just make communities for every launched stack? Because Codidact doesn't want to be a clone of SE but rather be its own thing, and that for good reasons. Of course, every launched community over at Stack Exchange could be copied and transferred to here, even with all the questions and answers. The question, however, is: What is the purpose of t...

A: Community for Medical Advice? In general, I have no problem with sites existing like that, however, Codidact is not the right platform for it.

A: A badge! A badge for completing the Codidactyl Tour. Or even several badges!! And points!! I'm little bit unsure about badges. They are a tool you can use for gamification (so to speak: participate in that or that way to gain that or that badge) but also a tool to show what someone has achieved so far. The latter function is something I like. Right now, I miss an option to show that som... (more) |

Should there be a forum-like place for the Codidact network?

A: Please postpone launching new communities. Besides the technical stuff, I think that postponing launching new communities would actually hinder the Codidact project altogether.

A: Is gaining rep based on SE content ok? I think that each sub community has to decide this independently.

An alternative approach to the view order of answers TLDR at the end.
