- # A note on first impressions:
- I really like that popup windows like when you click "react" are closed
- by clicking "react" again, not just anywhere else on the screen. This
- makes the site feel solid to me, and less prone to error. It also works
- really well with Vimium where you can't easily select a non-action part
- of the screen.
- What I have been fighting with is how comment threads work. Maybe a
- popup offering a tutorial for new users would be nice. Really though, I
- want to be able to reply to a comment from the question page; not have
- to go to a separate page two clicks away.
- I like that the main level header size is not obnoxious, making it
- usable.
# Update:- I like that post urls are short and shareable as is. I use Vimium so
- grabbing a link on codidact becomes a quick `yy`. As opposed to massive
- SO urls that require hitting share and copy to get something reasonable.
- It'd be nice to be able to "follow" or "save" users. This is a fun way
- to follow and learn from the activity of bright users. No feed BS; just
- looking for a way to "bookmark" these users within the bounds of my
- codidact account.
- I would like a quick way to return to the codidact topics page from
- within a topic.
- I like that you have to actively hit "mark as read" or "mark all as
- read" in your inbox, for the same reason I like to have to click "react"
- again. Too often with other services have messages "disappeared" on me,
- causing me to have to track them down through my browser history.
# Update [10.26.22]- I think there should be voting accountability and traceability. You should be able to see who upvoted and downvoted posts. Even better would be requiring comments for downvoting or a selection from a menu of reasons. A downvote with no context does not help the reader nor the writer.
