****************after sametimes************

After 10 minute create project Files button and function appeared ...

My other question is 

Component can be leveled or can be add to each logs (??logs mean project steps ??)

Best regards.

Hi! There's a separate area for components that you can use. Project logs can denote steps, but usually people use them to show their progress over time (adding logs as the project progresses) or tell about different areas of their project. You can upload pictures to project logs, or, if you don't want to write logs, just add stuff in the project "Details" section.

Hello, I'm trying to add multiple newlines when editing my project details, but it seems like the editor ignores it and does not apply any newlines to the format after publishing. I usually add newlines to clearly separate one section to the next. While putting section titles and formatting it as heading 1 or 2 works great for proper documentation, newlines would help the readers more especially if they are interested only to certain parts of the project details. Thanks.

Hello, I’m unable to submit  my project to the 2019 Hackaday Prize. When I try it say ‘Try Again’ in a red bar above the submit box, it doesn’t give any information about what went wrong. Do you know why it isn’t working? The project is here: https://hackaday.io/project/164970-high-level-turbo-fpga-development-system

There's a bug in the implementation of the edit link for comments on the global feed page. If the comment is partially displayed with a more link, then using the edit link brings up only the displayed portion of the comment and the word more. So it's only good for editing short comments.

To properly edit the comment one needs to display all the comments and then edit from there.

I'm missing project updates because the updates are always buried deeply in my feed under a pile of other things I don't really care about --- stack postings, mainly. I've seen a few references that it should be possible to configure what appears in my feed, but I can't find any way to do this (the UI mentioned doesn't appear to exist any more). Is this still possible, and if so, where?

You could definitely start with unfollowing Stack, https://hackaday.io/stack button is at the top. The other filter options are not currently available.

Good grief, no wonder I didn't find it! It's a greyed out button which looks like a radio button which only says it's the unfollow button when you mouse over it. There doesn't appear to be a 'Beware of the Leopard' sign, nor is it in a filing cabinet, but very nearly. That's not what I would call discoverable UI.

Anyway, that has solved my problem (at least for now). Thank you very much!

Markdown support would be so great, with automatic image upload like in GitHub issues!

With a simple mean to get the raw markdown (maybe append something to the URL) so we can get is easily on a personal website or backup ;)

+1 so much!

I think I accidentally reported my own project.  :)  Perhaps there should be an undo button instead of "You already reported this project. We are looking into it."

Caution: Contains explicit imagery of rendered gear trains and graphic descriptions of string trimmer line. #FilaMecanum 

Oops yeah, these are usually manually checked, it shouldn't be a problem

How do you show some love when someone post a log for their project?

add a comment on the bottom of the log saying exactly what you would like to tell the author: like the log changed your life, etc :-)

even a "nice!" or "thanks" would probably do the trick.

^ this, we may add a Like button in the future

@Richard Hogben I think would be awesome!

RSS feeds for projects would be super useful.

heard :)

can I link my account that I have created using e-mail and password with my github account afterwards so I can use it for logging in? If not: this would be a nice feature :-)

Hey sorry didn't get back to you sooner, I'll check to see if this is currently possible and if not I agree it would be nice.

I've got a suggestion for project status tags, kinda like the "completed / shelved / researching project" tags.

A similar one denoting how receptive to feedback the project creator is.

Like:

-Some people are trying to recruit people to the project team

- Some people really want feedback / suggestions / advice on how to move forward (but don't want people on their team)

- Some people (I'm usually in this category) are happy to read comments / suggestion / advice / smacktalk on their projects, but are unlikely to follow any of it, preferring to forge ahead on their own path

- Some people are documenting their own thing and are actively not wanting suggestions

Part of this comes from seeing some people get annoyed when people post suggestions on a project because it gets interpreted as a "you're not doing this correctly" comment. Different people are different in how they interpret comments, and this can also change based on projects. All strategies are totally okay! But it would be nice to be able to signal this to readers somehow.

"How receptive to feedback on this project are you?" might be a bad tag header though, I am not a writer. If only you guys had some people that were good with words ;)

Why not just discuss your preferences as part of the writeup? I know when I specifically ask a question, often "does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?", I get much more interaction, and almost always something helpful and/or interesting. I'm sure if I instead said "I'm documenting this mysterious thing, but I really want to figure this out on my own, so no spoilers, please!", people would get the message.

This is more likely to get seen/respected than a tag. I have set the "completed/shelved/etc" tags on some of my own projects, but don't think I've ever paid attention to them on anyone elses.

This could go into a "how to do a project on hackaday.io" page somewhere, which I don't think exists. It sounds like a job for user-generated content, like #I Want To Be A Hacker 

Oh, wait, maybe you weren't asking for suggestions :P

Hah, this was partly inspired by this extremely responsible disclaimer:

https://hackaday.io/project/164845/log/161581-what-this-is-going-to-be-and-what-not

But that's it, people make their projects, and don't verbalise what they expect out of their interactions with others. This isn't for me so much, I can handle comments and outright say when I need help with certain portions :)

But have you never seen people get frustrated with comments telling them other ways to do stuff? I totally have. For them, it feels like those comments are telling them they did it wrong.

@Jarrett I have absolutely seen this, and I get it. I guess what I'm driving at is maybe a user-education effort about how to communicate your feedback preferences to readers would be most effective, since the spectrum of what project creators expect is so wide. It also may vary within a project - like you might want to forge ahead on your own for a while, then want some input later.

Yeah, that disclaimer is exactly the kind expectation-setting that might help.

Can we get the option to select images already in our gallery when adding an image to a project log entry? I have been shown that you can view HTML and copy the image link, but it would be really nice if this was made simpler. For example, adding "Gallery" to the "Upload" and "Link" options in the image tool would make reusing images a lot easier. 8^)

Hey! I assume you can also leave hackaday.com-related problems here. See here: https://hackaday.com/2019/04/11/israels-moon-lander-crashed-and-thats-ok/#comment-6126290 Here's the crux of the issue:

There’s no longer an option to “log in with WordPress” on Hackaday.com post comments, and the session I had before (which allowed me to comment without entering name/email all over again) evidently got interrupted. Not just on the linked post, all the posts on HaD blog. Other WP blogs don’t have this problem (just checked). Oh, also, the usual “WP blog” bar on the top disappeared, used to be there as far as I remember it, would show me notifications and stuff. Maybe HaD deleted one too many lines of Javascript when de-WP-ifying the .com site?

Hiya, I saw your comment about this on article. I have a ticket open with our hosting service to get this figured out. Sorry for the disruption with this.

Okay, this should now be fixed. Thanks!

Need to stop auto-scrolling when user scrolls up even a tiny bit. Alternatively, have an on/off checkbox or switch for auto-scrolling.

The switch idea is neat! +1

Though the workflow there could be exhausting, turn off the switch, scroll up, read, turn on the switch, repeat each time a message gets away from you.

Hello! Scrolling in the Hack Chat can be horrible. You are aggressively snapped to the bottom whenever you wish to scroll up, provided that a few of the bottom messages are still visible. I've not found the code for this to demonstrate so this is observation. If the bottom few messages are visible you will be scrolled to the bottom; worse so is that if the bottom few messages are videos or images with a large horizontal footprint. You cannot scroll past them fast enough to not be snapped to the bottom again. Please fix. You already have the jump to bottom orange button that pops up when you're away from the messages, please consider using this to enable an "Auto scroll" state, and any manual user scroll should turn off auto-scroll. You may also enable auto scroll if the user scrolls back to the latest messages manually.

Unless there was some bug that was fixed that I'm not understanding, the current autoscroll makes it very difficult to read previous messages when the chat is moving quickly, such as every Wednesday at 12

Thanks for adding this here

No worries :)

As of right now, after a page refresh, the chat is working GREAT! Thanks heaps to whoever put this together so quickly.

Bonjour! Nous sommes étudiants et nous allons faire son travail, nous voulons savoir comment se conecte le MPR aux touches du piano, s´il vous plaît.

Can you try in english ? :-)

Here, I'll give it a go with my rusty French: Greetings! We are students and we will do his/her (our? notre?)...

I submit project to hackaday 2019; click "terms and conditions".  404.  Hmm....

Thanks we will update the link. In the meantime the same rules are at the bottom of https://prize.supplyframe.com/

Could you give us an option to switch the site’s background from Black with White font to White with Black font, please! 

My eyesight blurry after reading an article and even worse when I switch to another webpage with white background. I admire the site design very much but it kept me from spending time in HACKADAY. Not much help either with light filtering extension in my browser. I have to copy and paste the article in elsewhere to read. 

"Daymode", as opposed to the "nightmode" of other sites (e.g. Reddit).

+1 for light background. It hurts my eyes.

It would be amazing to see Lua syntax highlighting implemented. Also, the syntax highlighting for many languages is a bit buggy, and will often stop working halfway through a file, leaving a slightly odd-looking code snippet. C and Ruby seem to be especially prone to this.

I again bring up the idea of replacing the editor with a pre-existing text editor for websites. There are many to choose from which are open source, actively developed, with tons of great features. Quill (https://quilljs.com/) is the first one to come to mind, but there are many more. There are many of us spending many, many hours in the text editor, and the bugs get really frustrating! I know it's a lot of work developing this site, and I think hackaday.io is a wonderful, amazing space for sharing projects! This has just been the one thorn in my side in using it.

Thanks, the current editor was/is a pre-existing rich text editor but I wouldn't say it's today's current favorite. They are still looking at other editors, and just want to make sure to get it right.

The editor automatically adding links doesn't always work properly. For example, when I type in a filename like init.py it often gets converted into a link. Perhaps it should look for the http:// or https://? Or, just let the user insert links manually!

Thanks.
