No escape from reactions dialogue box I clicked on "react" on an answer on Codidact Meta and found that the only available reaction is "Outdated", which I don't want to use. There doesn't appear to be any way to close the dialogue box without adding a reaction, other than refreshing the page. There is no obvious close button and clicking... (more) |

Thanks @#56941 I've made a pull request to `master` as it hasn't been changed to `main` yet, and added a comment there to ask them if they want me to target a different branch instead. (more) |

Thanks for the quick response!
I've now created an issue and tried to create a pull request for my fork but the contributing guidelines say to target the develop branch, and there doesn't appear to be one for the landing-page repo. Is there another branch I should target? (more) |

Process for fixing a typo on codidact.org Is there a preferred process for making minor fixes such as typos on codidact.org? I've made a [commit to a fork] but I didn't want to raise a GitHub issue and make a pull request without checking the process first, as it's such a tiny change. - Should it be included in another issue which addr...

Ability to search for user:me Currently, we can search for posts by a particular user by including `user:uniqueusernumber`, where the unique user number can be found from the user's profile URL. Would you find it useful to be able to write something like `user:me` to search your own posts? I can easily look up my own unique... (more) |

Ability to sort search results by activity Currently, search results can be sorted by posted date (shown as "Age" in the sorting buttons) but not by edited date / most recent activity: ![search results sorting buttons] Would you find it useful to have this sorting option for search results (like the "Activity" sorting button in the Q&A ...

**"filters can be defined, named, and reused"**
I like this idea of being able to save filters, so you only have to write each one once. I also like this idea of being able to modify existing filters so that you don't have to write each one from scratch. Both of these abilities could be even more ... (more) |

Thanks FoggyFinder - that issue helped me narrow down the problem. Even though it appears that only one post category is displayed, in fact both Q&A and Challenges posts are displayed in the same list (just mislabelled as being all Q&A in the Q&A list, or all Challenges in the Challenges list). So th... (more) |

| Question | — |
Mismatch between tags list and number of posts for a given tag Sometimes the number of posts indicated in the tags list does not match the number of posts displayed for that tag. This appears to be due to the inclusion of deleted posts in the displayed number. Would it be more helpful to exclude deleted posts so that the numbers match (long term - putting aside ... (more) |

There's no urgency from my perspective. Just knowing there will be an API at some point in future is great news. (more) |

Meaningful hovertext for voting area I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief description (maybe a word or two) of what this number indicates? Voting buttons with hover text saying "0.5" ... (more) |

Save title and tags in draft I was delighted to find that a post I started writing on my phone automatically had a draft saved so I could continue writing it on my computer when I got home. However, I noticed that only the body was saved, and not the title or tags. Is this deliberate, or would it be helpful for those fields to b... (more) |

Do we have a public API yet? I've looked around for information on an existing or planned public API for Codidact but I haven't yet found one. I'm not sure if this means it was decided not to include it in the MVP or if it exists but is not easy to find (for me, at least). The only reference to a public API that I could find ... (more) |

Was about to comment that maybe the Outdoors community would benefit from a separate category for photo contests rather than everything have to be Q&A, and then checked and saw that this is already done. Great to see individual communities not having to constrain everything to the Q&A format. (more) |
