RSS please! We need RSS for people's new projects, and for people's new comments, and for new comments on projects and for project updates. Just too many updates to follow on the web page.

So, I'm mining my Facebook posts for pictures and project logs about the SoftEgg Dome, and it occurs to me that if Hackaday had some sort of Android app that took pictures and let me add updates to my projects (and then maybe auto-post those to Facebook, G+, etc.), I'd be updating it a lot more frequently.

Are you sure? yes | no

Sophi Kravitz wrote 05/03/2016 at 13:47

agreed! we're working on an app. stay tuned.

I'm hitting a 413 error when trying to submit or save my latest log. I copied and pasted from a word doc (including some low res pics). My guess is that there is allowance for pictures added explicitly with the 'insert image' option, but not for those pasted in despite the editor supporting direct pasting of images. One quick fix might be to change the upper size of http request allowed by the server, although I'd understand if you're worried about doing that. The other option would be to catch this error and ask users to manually insert the images. Total size of all images and text I'm trying to upload is <2MB. Chrome, on Ubuntu.

Hello, I notice when I use Hackaday.io "chat" (i.e., Hacker Chat project) on a phone, I get a nice "arrow" to close the "messages" left sidebar (and I think the "members" pane on the right side). However, when using a PC (or an Android tablet even), these "arrows" don't appear and you lose "too much" screen space from these sidebars (which are generally not too useful while chatting). This is really bad on small screen laptops and tablets (which may "appear" to have large screens, but with common "retina" displays, still not enough room - or a microscopic font). I am wondering if you can make it so everybody can close (or minimize) the distracting sidebars?
Thanks.

Riiiiiiiiiight. A whole bunch of new account all show up one by one to "like" the same project. To "like" the same project that SPAM people's PM for "likes"?

Not bloody likely. Gentleman sharpen your pitch forks!

still incoming fake "likes" for this user. Script still running or just don't care?
May be only people that have been on the system a while (a cooling off time) and have projects can vote?

Also seeing similar pattern on "COCITO WEATHER STATION"

How can anyone like an empty project!? Really? Dead give away is what these new account do as soon as they are created and always the same few descriptions.

davedarko wrote 04/28/2016 at 18:14

Man you have an eye for that :) Cocito is not really empty though and I gave a skull. 30 bugs for a writing a skull giving script sounds reasonable :D I don't think they ran out of money at the end, or did they? That would suck, but otherwise I'd call this creative funding ;) I hope I don't annoy you today.

I think you met your quota today. I have nothing on you Dave! :)
I think I like seeing that escort spam account (from last night) better than these empty ones. At least she is honest on how she makes her money.

Not too smart as everyone can see the feed log after the fact. Same naming convention <name><number>, same few tag(s): "love innovation"

Please, disable that icon notification for the chat! It is so annoying and useless! It says 1 new private message, when it fact it is one new irrelevant chat entry.

Are you sure? yes | no

Arya wrote 04/25/2016 at 16:11

I agree. That's really distracting, it's like the icon has no meaning when I'm in the chat anyway, but worse.

Are you sure? yes | no

Xark wrote 04/29/2016 at 19:27

While it is mildly annoying, I find a reload of the "discussion" page will typically clear the "1".

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 04/28/2016 at 10:32

I asked for separate chat and notification icons way back when it was introduced. I have decide to not go into chat because of this and the poor implementation of chat.

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 04/28/2016 at 14:58

poor implementation? I'd call that a papercut :D I just ignore that message thingy when it shows 1 new message ... because chat. Since the chat and the p.m. is the same system, it might be hard to separate, and writing exceptions for project ids in code might be something that not everybody is willing to code.

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 04/28/2016 at 16:07

Well the poor implementation part is how well (or not so well) of chat vs IRC. IRC is already established and doesn't suck up CPU and screen space. I have IRC or even skype open and get work done. Not so with chat.

To be honest, I think they fixed up notification a bit lately. It used to be sometimes it lights up after I edit something and depending on how many sessions have pointing to HaD.io, it may or may not clear up after finding out the cause,. Now it seems to work fine.

Are you sure? yes | no

Peter Babič wrote 04/29/2016 at 11:42

I did leave the chat because of it, even though I would like to be there.

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 04/24/2016 at 17:37

Not sure if it is my ISP, but the HaD.io servers seems to be unresponsive at times and I have timeout errors for the last few days.

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 04/21/2016 at 15:57

May be it is just me or Chrome on Win 7 x64, but sometimes when I edit a project, I lost the very first character in the log.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 04/21/2016 at 22:19

I get different behaviours, sometimes I type a word, then space then it creates a new paragraph.
And it's even worse when it happens at random in the middle of paragraphs !

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 04/28/2016 at 10:30

Okay I find out more about disappearing first character. When I delete a picture somewhere in the log, sometimes the screen and cursor moved to the first character in the log and delete it too.

Are you sure? yes | no

SHAOS wrote 04/28/2016 at 15:12

For me it looks like when I need to delete 2 last characters and press Backspace twice too quickly it jumps to the beginning and delete 1st character of the post...

Are you sure? yes | no

jaromir.sukuba wrote 04/28/2016 at 20:14

Yes, it does something like this. Especially on longer projects logs with pictures. For most of the time, ending a paragraph by newline makes it OK again.

It doesn't happen all the time, though. I'm not yet sure how to reproducibly trigger it.

Are you sure? yes | no

I second this one. More than that, having feed as default view makes counter of new feed items useless, because it is cleared when viewing feed (which is default view).

Are you sure? yes | no

flashcactus wrote 04/21/2016 at 21:54

I'd suggest making the default page adjustable (and include the oprion of returning you to wherever you were before logging in)

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 04/21/2016 at 22:16

yes, configuring the default page sounds like a great idea :-)

Respected authorities

I want to inform you that my project with the name

"Life is a state of mind"
has been deleted from my account.

Don't know who has deleted my project

Last night it was there in my profile.

Kindly resolve the issue as soon as possible

Are you sure? yes | no

Teemu Hakala wrote 04/20/2016 at 07:44

I would _really_really_really_ like it that if I click on a HaD/blog to a HaD.io link and then proceed to log in, I would _NOT_ get moved to this feed thing I never use anyway. I was on to read of some project and now have to go back or find the url again or something. Really super annoying.

Thanks for fixing this already in advance.

Yours, Teemu

P.S. Issue tracking vs. unordered comments in a "project". same.

Hello, would it be possible to add a feature in order to strike the text we want inside the project editor menu ?

Are you sure? yes | no

I second this request. Also, provide a non-wysiwyg mode maybe?

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 04/21/2016 at 21:42

Sometimes the WYSIWYG isn't. :P +1 on the strike-out as I can show what the significant changes are in the log.

Are you sure? yes | no

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote 04/21/2016 at 22:18

+42 for the non-wysiwig mode ! the editor is often a pain !
Even a basic markup language would be great

Peter Walsh wrote 04/16/2016 at 22:24

I'm managing a team project "lasercut optics bench".

For some reason, when I invite a cut/paste user name from their Hackaday.io page, such as "Jennifer.cote", it won't send an invite. If I start to type the user name, then select one of the auto-completed names it does work.

In the first case cut/paste should be the exact name, so it shouldn't be a typo or unicode problem. It acts as if the cut/pasted name isn't found, but the autocompleted name is found.

Are you sure? yes | no

jareklupinski wrote 04/14/2016 at 19:47

Feature Request: an Eagle/KiCad schematic/board viewer so i can look at people's boards on IO without having to have Eagle installed. Maybe just a script/ulp that dynamically creates a pdf from any of those files for viewing?
