Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Posts tagged feature-request

For posts asking for a new platform feature or improving an existing one. Such posts do not behave as normal questions, as voting might also indicate agreement or disagreement with the proposal.
