Answer A: Should we display the number of views?
View counts are a measure of the importance of a post to the site. A question that's viewed a lot should be prioritized by curators, because it's likely to be viewed proportionately often in the future. They need to have this information to act on it, so I'm in favour of displaying it. It's especi...

MRE: ``` Outer Outer text Inner Inner text ``` Which produces: Outer Outer text Inner Inner text When I click to expand the outer details section, the chevron spins from pointing right to downward, as expected, and the header for the inner section appears. The inner sect...

Question What class attributes can we (usefully) use in HTML tags?
Following up on Markup documentation? and What html tags can we use in posts?: I see that the site supports `` tags in posts, and that these can have a `class` attribute. Recently I saw an answer on Software that uses these for an impressive visual effect: code examples with lightly shaded red ...

Question Show post preview beside the editing field rather than below
Discourse forum software has a neat feature whereby the post preview appears beside the input field. The post submission form pops up as an overlay to the main view of the current thread, showing two text areas side by side - the input field and an interactive (because their Markdown offers access to...

Answer A: What is the relationship between Codidact and TopAnswers?
Codidact as a whole offers a platform that is an alternative to Stack Exchange as a whole. Each of these platforms determines its topics (at least in principle) according to user demand and initiative. There is no reason a priori to expect any kind of correspondence between SE sites and CD communitie...

Comment Post #289111 Individual Codidact communities, along with their names, have no relationship or necessary equivalency with anything on Stack Exchange. Stack Overflow has a "special" name - where most SE sites are just Something (dot) Stack Exchange - because it came first. The initial community was created by and f...

Comment Post #289173 Aside from making things easier for people who are set up for / comfortable with overriding CSS, this proof of concept looks surprisingly good for so few lines of code. That makes it seem like implementing the feature properly would be less work than originally anticipated. I think the main thing I'd...

Comment Post #285658 Related to the issue of allowing spaces in tag names in the first place: people coming from Elsewhere will be confused that typing a space after a tag name doesn't attempt to use/create the tag and that an Enter key press is needed instead. If we decide to keep things that way, then that gets rid of ...

Answer A: Linking to posts with anchor text is too hard
In the comments it was noted that a previous question points out the position of the "Copy Link" button feature in the interface, which at first seems like a natural "home" for this feature. A big part of my workflow on SE sites was right-clicking the title of a page to open it in a new tab so I c...
