Q&A Some things I observed as I started poking around Codidact

Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on...

Q&A Add safeguards to "mobile sign-in" feature

One threat model is the nearby person at the coffeeshop (or whatever) being able to scan the large QR code that comes up as soon as you click that button in the header. Many other things in the he...

Q&A What information should be displayed on a network profile?

I thought the best way to respond to this answer would be with a sketch. The answer raises a few key points: Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose. Show me where there...

Q&A How can tags be deleted?

This is a gap we need to address, yes. There's another way to get rid of them that's a little hacky: you can merge the bad tag into another one. If there's an obvious target (like there were two ...

Q&A Understanding how posts were possibly received by the community --- network wide

I think what you're asking for is (1) better information about votes you're receiving, so you know which posts are being up- or down-voted, and (2) for that information to be available in one place...

Q&A What to do about sock puppets in Site Proposals?

There is some amount of subjectivity in evaluating proposals, which is not ideal. It's important for us (all, together) to figure out how we can improve our process. Ultimately we probably need t...

Q&A Why not broaden Electrical Engineering to Engineering?

The scope of the Electrical Engineering community is up to them. If you want to propose changes, you should ask on their meta. We don't impose scope on communities; we allow communities to define...

Q&A Do we need the drop down menu at the upper right corner to link to all other communities?

We added that drop-down menu in response to requests from community members. Yes there's a link in the footer (and that has been brought up before), but many feel that we need something a little m...

Q&A We should delete all old imported content.

Writing already has consensus to delete unclaimed, untouched, imported posts. We should see how that changes things, and then the other two communities with large-scale imports can decide how they...

Q&A Can the title of the question be a "clean" link to the question itself?

Does the "copy link" link below the question meet your needs? Those of us who came from Somewhere Else are used to the title being a link, but we thought an explicit link would be more discovera...

Q&A Most reputations dropped by 1 (maybe the "starter" 1 rep disappeared for people who had more)

The recent database update included a reputation recalculation. Reputation doesn't mean as much as it used to (it doesn't govern abilities any more), but it's still present and visible. In the re...

Q&A Implement duplicate up-down vote buttons

For the buttons, I propose something bolder: don't duplicate them, move them. The logical time to make a voting decision is when you've read a post, so I agree they belong at the bottom. But why ...

Codidact uses highlight.js for syntax highlighting. We support whatever languages are enabled by default in that package; we haven't restricted them. As I write this, they list 189 languages with...
