Welcome to Codidact! This is mostly a Q&A community, as you likely know from Stack Exchange already. However, I only said "mostly", because there are some differences you should know: Codidac...
Update (2020-12-29): I've sent emails to everyone who is eligible to get a t-shirt or stickers. I'm sorry that it took a while, but you know, life happens. It's been an interesting year so far and ...
Currently, it is possible to upvote and downvote answers. That's likely enough in most situations, but there are some cases where you might want to have more than one way to react to a post. For ex...
tl,dr: No. I'm sorry, but this just isn't possible. First of all, we all are people with a real life. We all have full-time responsibilities in real life. These responsibilities are unquestionable...
A bit over a year ago, I proposed to add a “reactions” like feature on Codidact, which would allow marking answers as “accepted”, “outdated” or “dangerous”, providing more detailed feedback to user...
We have added a summary of votes received (i.e. votes on own posts) to user profiles. You can access it by going to the Vote Summary tab. The summary is available publicly: The votes are aggrega...
Since Codidact was founded, we have had one rule leading our path every step of the way. It's the rule that community comes first. That the Codidact "staff" shouldn’t overrule the community, but co...
For obvious reasons, we do not allow you to use any tag or attribute you want. All tags, that aren't on a special inclusion list are stripped from the input. There are two lists, one for posts and...
tl;dr: Codidact is contracted from "co" (together; Latin) and "didact" (to learn; Greek) There has been a forum discussion for that question, too, I'm summarizing the important aspects from ther...
I'm sorry, but to my best knowledge, the Codidact core team has no millionaires. We don't even have a common "Codidact bank account", because a certain pandemic has made it much harder to open one...
Looking at the site settings, it appears, that there are these privileges currently: 250 reputation grant you the privilege to close and reopen questions. 500 reputation will allow you to edit po...
The reason Discord was chosen is disappointingly simple: It's just the chat software I used and knew best when I invited some people over from Stack Exchange to start this project. The Discord serv...
The level of activity of the communities vary. Some are more active than others, which isn't exactly a problem. However, I'm a bit worried when a community becomes significantly less active than ot...
The code for the hot post selection can be found in the app/controllers/application_controller.rb file (search for hot_questions). Eligible for Hot Posts are all Questions or Articles that have...
Back in the real old days, we had a real long discussion about reputation and privileges (exhibit A, B, C and likely many other discussions in other threads). What emerged from those discussions w...
I'd disagree here, because I think this is not, how categories should be used. First of all, there shouldn't be too many categories, because the UI becomes confusing, possibly problematic on mobile...
About a month ago I shared our first draft for a Review Panel. Read through that post to find the motivation for this idea: It should be clear that such a process shouldn't involve "us" (the Codid...
This answer can be considered semi-official. It's a mix of "what we currently appear to be doing" and "how I'd want it do be". There is a site suggestion category here on Meta, where everyone wit...
It's great to hear that you are interested in helping us funding our project. That's like really excitingly awesome. Unfortunately, we don't want to accept donations until we have a proper legal st...
IMHO we need to distinguish two things: It's not really possible per se to prevent for-profit companies from just accessing our web pages and downloading the content from them. We can try to ...
We had (and unfortunately still have) a nasty troll, that attempts to downvote all the questions and creates sock accounts for that to escape suspensions. To stop them, we had to employ some limita...
When I have 2FA (two-factor authentification) activated, I'm kicked out of my session way more often than if I haven't. That's annoying, because I need to go to my password manager and find my pass...
Thanks for your feature requests. I'm going to respond to all your points one by one: Watching tags. We already support having questions highlighted based on a set of favorite tags. You can se...
