Can the "ADD COMPONENTS" part of the Project be made more user friendly. Adding each component, one line at a time is really awkward. Shouldn't it be possible to parse and read a CSV file to build a BoM, just like Digikey or Mouser?

Hi @Anool Mahidharia ! Good idea. Thanks :)

Are you sure? yes | no

deʃhipu wrote 05/09/2018 at 13:21

To be honest, I would really overhaul the whole components, files and assembly instruction sections — move them to a separate subpage, for a start, displaying them together.

Are you sure? yes | no

Aleksandar Bradic wrote 05/11/2018 at 16:17

Hey Anool,

We have tried to provide some of this capability via a FC Pro Open Hardware integration, but it hasn't been publicly visible nor directly integrated into the core Hackaday.io flow. We'll make sure to prioritize this. Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no

On my netbook (ASUS 1005HA, 1024x600 screen), the top banner in the PM/Chat page is unnecessarily thick and overlaps the chat frames at the top. I can't see whether or not the top person in the list is online or not! Codefix, plzkthx.

Are you sure? yes | no

Starhawk wrote 05/04/2018 at 23:07

Nobody else cares?

Don’t get salty, i’m sure either they’re working, considering, or it’s just you. I never liked the mobile site, it’s a pain to use.

Are you sure? yes | no

Starhawk wrote 05/05/2018 at 02:31

It's actually not the mobile site that's being served to my netbook. I'd be even louder if it was...

Are you sure? yes | no

HI @Starhawk we hear you and appreciate your feedback! Lots of improvements in the works. Thanks for the comment.

Can you make the world icon in the public chat bigger please.
Some of us Dinosaurs already see double ;-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Ivan Lazarevic wrote 04/27/2018 at 20:22

@Richard Hogben can make that better for sure : )

Are you sure? yes | no

Thank you, that'd be awesome :-D

Are you sure? yes | no

Ivan Lazarevic wrote 06/18/2018 at 22:58

it's should be better now : )

Are you sure? yes | no

ActualDragon wrote 04/25/2018 at 17:14

On tagging and inviting people- When you tag someone with a generic name in the chat, like steve of something, there's 100 of them, and the chances of the one you want popping up in the 5 that you can choose from is very slim. Also, i tried to invite @Austin Tomson to the #Chat for Drones, and he didn't show up. Idk what's the problem with it.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 04/25/2018 at 17:37

Not sure why Austin won't show up, but another option to look into is enabling a public chat for the drones project. A public room skips the whole invite process, and you get a public chat button on the project page. You can still invite contributors to the existing chat room. https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/7148251524677483235.png

Are you sure? yes | no

ActualDragon wrote 04/25/2018 at 17:46

oh, idek that was a thing now. thanks for the tip!

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 04/25/2018 at 17:53

Sure, try it out and let me know what you think. Just to be clear, you will see two rooms in chat, the public one will have a world icon. You can share that URL and visitors can see the chat but not post until they register and join it.

Are you sure? yes | no

ActualDragon wrote 04/26/2018 at 01:19

it's a neat idea i guess, but i would rather it just make the original room public, instead of two seperate rooms. It's kinda confusing, i don't know which to post in

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/24/2018 at 07:16

the spam is becoming a downer more and more, could you share some thoughts on how you'll work on it? What's in the pipeline? Strategies?

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/24/2018 at 12:21

btw. I've already reported the person a while ago - 184 projects by now https://hackaday.io/hacker/298411-lee

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 04/24/2018 at 16:55

Sorry, it's a priority and thanks for the reports. There are ongoing changes to existing strategies as they find workarounds. It needs to be done in a way that doesn't impact everyone else's experience.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/26/2018 at 08:03

I don't think anyone feels the need to post +20 projects a day, so maybe a restriction is something everyone can live with. I think shadow banning and some more moderators could help for a start. (I came back to say it's 208 projects now)

Are you sure? yes | no

Ivan Lazarevic wrote 04/27/2018 at 20:21

some of that is already implemented, and you should see less spam now.

Are you sure? yes | no

we do have a timeout for project creation, but bots just wait long enough to bypass that. we have some different strategies on, and there should be less spam now.

Hello Mehmet! On your profile page you have "View all" button in "Projects I Like & Follow" section. Here is the link: https://hackaday.io/projects/hacker/305972/likesandfollows

Mehmet Suzer wrote 04/20/2018 at 13:49

Thanks a lot Lutetium! Though I would advise website developers to put a link on a more visible place such as the main menu. Cheers.

Nick Shvelidze wrote 04/18/2018 at 06:42

I really don't like project pages, they are cluttered and there is no clear distinction between different parts (overview, logs, discussion etc.). Makes skimming difficult.

Are you sure? yes | no

Lex Kravitz wrote 04/17/2018 at 18:36

A couple of my projects do not have the "views" counter. I saw that sometimes you have to wait a couple days for this to start but it's been >2 weeks. Is there a setting to turn this on? Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/17/2018 at 18:40

I think there is a threshold of a weird number like 80 or something

Are you sure? yes | no

Lutetium wrote 04/17/2018 at 19:25

Hi Lex! View count starts once it reaches over 50 views.

Sorry about that, while this gets fixed if you drag any image to first position you can click the X over the larger image above to remove it.

Wenting Zhang wrote 04/14/2018 at 19:13

Today I suddenly noticed that I have accidentally reported my own project as inappropriate (it says "You have reported this project and we are looking into it") and I don't even know when I did that (probably on my cellphone when I accidentally touched it?). Is there anyway to withdrawal the report?

Are you sure? yes | no

ActualDragon wrote 04/14/2018 at 22:08

it doesn't really matter, somebody will check it over, and unless it really is inappropriate, they won't do anything. it would have to be close to a hackaday pornhub though, i mean, this is a thing- #Internet of Condoms

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 04/15/2018 at 11:19

To clarify, there are site-wide rules and if the project violates any of these (say, explicit materials), it might get deleted - but the rules are lax enough that this is unlikely.

Are you sure? yes | no

David H. Bronke wrote 05/09/2018 at 21:43

Same exact thing happened to me, and I also have no idea when exactly it happened... But my project "censh" has said that since the day I posted it. (I so posted on a cellphone - the button for reporting a project should probably have an "Are you sure?" dialog before doing the report)

Are you sure? yes | no

Sophi Kravitz wrote 05/09/2018 at 22:42

HI there- We review all reports carefully and if the project looks like it shouldn't have been reported, we probably are just going to keep a watch on it.

Are you sure? yes | no

kodera2t wrote 04/18/2018 at 06:47

Do you have any idea or is there any requirement (for example completed BOM) for hackaday prize submission. Actually none of my project cannot be. If except for me no issue, I guess I am banned out by some reason.

It would be good to include the normal plain text body in emails, the html only email has a few issues such as: unreadable mess for those with disabled html (security, anti phishing), tends to be seen as spam and eaten by spam filters

Vishnu Mohanan wrote 03/27/2018 at 13:00

I too have experienced this problem lately. Hackaday.io wouldn't load or respond to ping while Hackaday.com was fine. But it only lasted a few minutes. Chrome showed "Connection was reset" error. Probably some minor server issues..

or filtering ?

Vishnu Mohanan wrote 03/27/2018 at 16:39

You mean by a firewall ? Chances are low. Because everything was working fine just before it. I quickly flushed the DNS, cleared cookies and restarted the browser, but didn't help. The browser showed "Establishing secure connection.." and just stuck. I do not know anything more about it.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 03/27/2018 at 16:43

The ping didn't reply during these periods, so your browser couldn't establish the connection...

I hope HaD's network team can figure what's going on.

Are you sure? yes | no
