Add an explicit Markdown syntax for decorative images When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitting a post with blank alt text, they are reminded with a link to the help center page on alt text. How... (more) |

A: How to import my StackExchange questions into Codidact? Welcome to Codidact!

You need to create a new account; the dev system has a separate account system from the main network. As mentioned in Monica's comment, you need to manually edit the sign up link you'll get to point to `a.dev.codidact.org` instead `meta.codidact.com`. (more) |

@MonicaCellio - say, someone discovers that a moderator is actually underage (12 or so); they're not really legally allowed to have an account in that situation. (more) |

@MathPhysics - I don't know what license the help center articles on SE are under, but I'm assuming it's not the same as user-generated content, so there could be a legal problem doing that. Also, since we're _different_ from SE, their help center articles won't necessarily work for us. To get what's... (more) |

A: The Codidact Help should be more comprehensive and practical Yep; the Help Center definitely needs some more fleshing out. To that end, I'd like to point you towards this question that I posted a couple months ago: What help pages need to be written? If there are specific topics that you'd like to see covered by a help article, please leave an answer the... (more) |

I don't think a rich text editor is going to happen any time soon, but you can post a feature request and it can go onto the list. I'm guessing it's a lot of work to build, though, and not especially high priority, so with the current number of active devs it's unlikely to be implemented any time soo... (more) |

A: Why isn't the text editor in the same font as what posts are? It makes it much easier to tell that you're writing or editing a post, for one, instead of looking at a completed post. In addition, it's rather standard practice to have your font be monospace when composing a post if you're not using rich text. Since we're using Markdown, it makes sense to go wi... (more) |

A: Medical science site I am concerned about the ability of such a site to maintain its quality and accuracy. This is the Internet.

A: What happened to codidact / core project in ASP.NET? There was no progress on the C# project for months - it had gone entirely quiet, due to a lack of people available who were familiar enough with the language to contribute. While C# was chosen as the ideal language stack when the Codidact project started, it became apparent that it wasn't realistic c... (more) |

It's a bit redundant to display it *all the time*, though. That's why I suggested having the raw votes be easily *accessible* (with one or two clicks) but not to be displayed by default. (more) |

Should we start displaying the score of a post instead of the raw votes? Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: Screenshot of the voting buttons, showing +12 and -1. There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, especially coming from platforms like Stack Exchan... (more) |

@ArtOfCode - ah yes. I moved "delete" out into its own tool. (I had originally had both close and delete separate from vote, but then moved close in so as not to interfere with comment. I then put delete in for consistency, but overlooked the duplicate "d".) (more) |

A proposal for keyboard shortcuts (This may not be the simplest feature request. It's also not extremely high priority.

What help pages need to be written? I've been working on the user help center recently - writing new help pages and improving old ones.

I was planning on writing a sort of tour for Codidact, although a bit more in-depth than SE's, just to explain sort of how the site works and point new users towards other help pages and possibly chat, but naturally that depends on the rest of the help center being fleshed out. (more) |

A: What is the difference between the subdomain forum.codidact and the rest of the communities? The https://forum.codidact.org site is a Discourse installation that served as a place for discussion and planning of the Codidact project before any of the Codidact sites were up and running - long predating Meta.CD. Seeing as there was a need for coordination and discussion before any Codidact site... (more) |
