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...

From a comment thread page, pressing "flag" on a comment results in a pop up panel with a text input and a "Flag" button. On mobile, in portrait mode, this pop up panel overlaps the left hand edge ...

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...
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...
Comments below posts are grouped into threads, each of which can have a meaningful name so several different conversations can happen in parallel with less risk of confusion. However, sometimes th...

When adding a tag to a post, beginning to type leads to all matching tags being displayed, avoiding the need to type out tag names by hand. Would it be useful to include this feature in the Pref...
Accidentally clicking on the blue "bug" tag above the tags box in post edit mode adds the tag "bug" even if it is already present, resulting in it being present twice. Deleting it with the little...
I clicked on "react" on an answer on Codidact Meta and found that the only available reaction is "Outdated", which I don't want to use.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 ...
