Whatever it is called, we still need a nice simple single number that is a rough measure of how much good content someone has contributed, as judged by all others on that site. "Reputation" is a r...
Codidact currently has no place to ask OS-related questions, unless they are niches that happen to fit into one of the existing sites. Yes! I know that, that's why I am asking the question. Then ...
This has bugged me too. To be clear, we are talking about when you write a question, not how questions are displayed. When I click on the button to write a new question, the first thing I want to ...
I have no real objection if others want a community wiki (or whatever it should be called) post type, but want to point out that these never really worked right on SE. I'm very unlikely to make of...

Esc is the usual and obvious way to dismiss a popup like this. Esc for this function is so common and nearly universal that listing it would only add clutter, and not provide any useful informatio...
I was the downvoter. After I wrote the comment, I noticed that it was actually 3 days since the question was asked, but I decided not to go back and edit it since then the title and body of the co...
