There are several differences in the philosophy of Codidact vs. Stack Exchange that may contribute to people preferring CD over SE. For-profit vs non-profit Stack Exchange is a for-profit company. ...
We are not Stack Exchange. While we share some ideals with SE, and have a similar Q&A-based system, the two platforms operate differently and with differing goals. The feature sets are differe...
We're currently not able to accept donations, since we don't yet have a nonprofit set up quite yet. However, as mentioned in the Newsletter, we're actively working on setting one up! A couple weeks...
Yes. We have two testing environments, https://a.dev.codidact.org/ and https://b.dev.codidact.org/. These are used for testing out new features and fixes before they go live on production, so you m...
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 t...
Jon Ericson raised an interesting point in a recent Meta post: I don't understand how the help page is organized. Oh wait! It's alphabetical by the title of the article. That's why "Advanced for...
