Q&A Would there ever be A / B testing?

Not in the forseeable future. Building a system to A-B test new features takes time, as does the analysis afterwards. While we're still a small team, it's more effective for us to collect feedback ...

Q&A Modular or “microservices” architecture

The first question to ask when considering a change of architecture is why? What benefits would a modular architecture bring, and would it outweigh the drawback of having to re-write the entire sys...

Q&A Vote counts as ratios?

This is already how it works. Those red/green bars in post lists are driven by a Wilson score for the post based on the numbers of up and downvotes. Post & answer sorting is also based on these...

Q&A Is it okay to scrape Codidact for personal tools?

As a general rule: yes, for personal use there's no issue with that. Caveats: First & foremost, this is a general rule - if we discover requests or usage that looks like a problem we'll want...

Q&A Spinners don't spin for nested details tags

I've fixed this in the design framework - once the CDN's cache updates, you should see this start working properly.

Q&A Rendering bug of HTML entity in hover text for tags guidance.

This is something we either can't fix, or can't fix without significant effort. It's been a little while since I last checked what browser tooltips can do, but one thing they can't do is render HTM...

Q&A 1. Outline Codidact's complaints process? 2. What public bodies oversee Codidact?

You have a slight misunderstanding here, I'm afraid. Companies like Lloyds Bank and British Airways are both part of highly regulated industries (banking and aviation). Those industries have their ...

Q&A A feature-request status page

Codidact is small, as is our team. Our development team is even smaller. That means that time, especially dev time, is a very precious resource that we have little of. Something like this requires ...

Q&A MathJax in profiles displays differently depending on community

I'm not sure there's a lot we can do about this, other than potentially adding a warning if MathJax is enabled. It's hard to reliably detect MathJax in a post, and even harder to reliably remove it...

Q&A Main and subheadings are almost the same size, but not in the edit preview

[status-norepro] If you use your browser's Inspect Element feature, you should be able to find the computed font sizes on each. On all browsers on my end I see h1 as 27.2px and h2 as 25px. Admitte...

Q&A Does the community have any mechanism to tackle serial (emotional) downvoting?

Yes. There is some tooling built into the software to help identify serial voting, and when identified the Codidact team can remove the votes in question and reset rep counts, and moderators can of...

Q&A Closing Articles

While I can see the point here, I also don't see much benefit in allowing articles to be closed. The only function closing has is to prevent a post being answered. That's all it does; it doesn't d...
