No RSS feeds? Nowhere?

Are you sure? yes | no

There is an API https://hackaday.io/project/5602-hackaday-api

Are you sure? yes | no

So i have to register an App, consume OAuth and convert JSON to XML to create myself an RSS feed?

Please reconsider your answer.

Are you sure? yes | no

@mnt well there's that or a no. Not much to consider.

Enjoy! https://hackaday.io/rss/globalFeed

Are you sure? yes | no

mnt wrote 06/29/2018 at 20:23

Oh, that feed is only an xml-view of /feed?

Too bad, i always felt that /feed is utterly useless. Who could possibly be interested in every single comment, like or update of any user on HADio? Right now it shows 30 likes of the same person (seemingly on a like spree).

Are you sure? yes | no

Project log pages keep freezing when I try to edit them. I use Vivaldi browser. Is it a known issue? Would you like more detail?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/19/2018 at 17:18

Which os?

Are you sure? yes | no

Win 7 pro 64. It's ok until I enter a cursor and try input anything. just freezes.

Are you sure? yes | no

@Ivan Lazarevic already looked into this. Seems to be the third party editor of hackaday.io which doesn't work with vivaldi. It won't be fixed. I just use FF for hackaday now...

Are you sure? yes | no

Jan wrote 06/06/2019 at 17:33

Just tried it with the recent version of Vivaldi 2.5.1525.48 (Stable channel) and it works now. Don't know if it was a fix in Vivaldi or here on Had.io. I don't care. It works :)

Are you sure? yes | no

Max.K wrote 06/14/2018 at 10:45

The notification feed is a mess. I see comments on random projects from people that I follow. But most of the comments on my own projects are not displayed. This is not acceptable.

I would gladly follow more people but that would completely flood the feed.

Is there any way to fix that?

Email notifications don't work as well because the account is connected to Github.

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/18/2018 at 17:16

Thanks Max, we also have a request for a notifications area (your likes/comments/etc) separate from the feed.

Are you sure? yes | no

Jeffrey wrote 06/13/2018 at 05:30

Hi! In my private feed, I would like to see updates to the projects I'm following. Currently though, this feed is flooded with random people liking, commenting or following these projects. It would be nice if there was a way to filter this noise out. That would also make it a lot easier to find new projects to follow!

Are you sure? yes | no

Ricky Zhang wrote 06/10/2018 at 14:23

One more thing, Hackaday black color background and white text contrast hurts my eyes! If I can afford a lawyer, you may get sue. Can you guy liberate us to change color scheme? At least allow green text in black background. It just hurts. I don't want to read my stuffs even I wrote it.

Are you sure? yes | no

Can you add option to write log in markdown? It is pain to switch between HTML and text to do simple format thing like heading and etc.

Are you sure? yes | no

Blaine Murphy wrote 06/08/2018 at 09:53

I have noticed an issue with email notifications. The configuration page allows you to select all of the events which cause an email to be sent, but not all events work as expected. A few days ago I received an email notifying me that someone had like a project of mine. Right after they liked the project they left a comment on the project that I didn't notice until a few days later because I was never notified. I noticed the disclaimer "MAXIMUM ONE EMAIL PER HOUR" at the bottom of the settings page. It seems that I was never sent a notification of the comment because an email was sent to notify that a project was liked just moments before.

I understand the need to limit emails to one per hour, but this causes information to be lost if a lot of activity happens at once on your profile. Would it be possible to get a "Notifications" feature at the top of the page? Something like the "Feed" but a stream of likes, comments, and follows. An email of initial activity would be enough to get someone to check the site for more detailed information (allowing the email throttling to remain in place, but providing more granular information for those of us that miss things often).

Are you sure? yes | no

Ivan Lazarevic wrote 06/08/2018 at 22:12

I believe that all of them are in your feed, with all other feed activities, and it might not be easy to see them. I'll add your request into our backlog. thank you.

Are you sure? yes | no

we'll look into this. and we'll try to go with a higher number in the fix : )

this is fixed now. unfortunately, the lower number is the correct one : )

WooDWorkeR wrote 06/04/2018 at 18:30

we should get rid of all centralized websites, like hackaday and github - they are all evil, we should go back and host evrything our selfsnow that we found out github wanted to make money, and now has a owner that makes it possible to runt he service for almost forever.

Are you sure? yes | no

Can you add GitLab to the "add network" dropdown on the project creation page?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/04/2018 at 16:24

Probably, there is always the other category too, the only difference is no custom icon.

Are you sure? yes | no

Clara Hobbs wrote 06/04/2018 at 18:39

Alternatively, they could remove all suggested sites entirely to avoid any sense of favoritism. But I'd guess that they get paid by GitHub and Dropbox, making that unlikely!

Are you sure? yes | no

Ted Yapo wrote 06/04/2018 at 18:58

Are you implying that hackaday is under the control of Microsoft now?

Are you sure? yes | no

Richard Hogben wrote 06/04/2018 at 19:46

Fair point

Are you sure? yes | no

deʃhipu wrote 05/29/2018 at 20:43

I wonder if it would be possible to add a third category to the public/private projects: unlisted. Such projects could be seen by people when linked to or mentioned directly, but wouldn't appear in the listings.

Are you sure? yes | no

Ted Yapo wrote 05/30/2018 at 19:17

like unlisted youtube videos?

helge wrote 05/27/2018 at 13:13

In the pages editor, when I delete the last character of a line of text underneath a picture, why does it delete the bloody picture along with it, "delete the whole paragraph"-style?

Why does it sometimes insert code snippets at the top of the text instead of the cursor position? Why does it randomly jump around when deleting things. Why is the line spacing sometimes messed up and lines are skipped when using the up and down arrow keys.

Super frustrating :(

Are you sure? yes | no

Jan wrote 05/27/2018 at 14:47

The whole editor is mostly frustration, regardless of the browser you use...

Are you sure? yes | no

helge wrote 05/27/2018 at 18:07

On top of that it seems that when editing longer pages some pictures can "get dropped". Had to edit

https://hackaday.io/page/5252-generating-nice-threads-in-openscad

multiple times now to get everything back in order. Seriously, if we're here to build your hackaday.io dream and generate free content to establish and maintain your position in the community, this has to change.

Code snippets mangle the pasted code. It seems they don't like angle brackets.

I just created a new project today named ColorChord and all was looking good until I just checked and notice that it has been removed ? This was going to be a contest entry and was/is for the visually impaired.

Are you sure? yes | no

Dr. Cockroach wrote 05/23/2018 at 14:01

Might have solved it. There is another ColorChord from two years ago. Does something different but the same device name... Guess I need to choose another name for my project ;-)

Maybe it's just me or I'm missing something but here's what I'd wish for to make project logs better:

* side notes

* proper handling of citations (table with links, maybe preview functionality)

Check out this log to see what I'm having trouble with: https://hackaday.io/project/156522-step-and-scan-digital-microlithography/log/146551-laser-assisted-chemical-etching

Are you sure? yes | no

K.C. Lee wrote 05/23/2018 at 16:33

You could use a "List" for your citations. Table formatting are messy.

The "Ordered List" comes with a number for each entry, so you could use that number as your reference just like in a published paper.

Or just do something like this:

References:

1. https://hackaday.com/2018/04/24/dissecting-the-avr-debugwire/
2. http://nerdralph.blogspot.ca/2018/04/debugging-debugwire.html
3. https://hackaday.com/2016/04/07/reverse-engineering-debugwire/
4. https://github.com/dcwbrown/dwire-debug

You can do subscripts or superscripts by fooling around with html tags <sub> and <sup>: https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/

If the citation is inline style, you could possibly use links (Chain icon).

Are you sure? yes | no

I'm new to this site, is there an option to change the color theme/skin of the site? I'm finding it hard to read with the current dark color theme. I'd like to view it in more lighter colors, for example the colors in the Twitter feed.
