Hackaday.io projects needs to have a "help wanted" type section for specific skills and/or tasks. For example, I have project ideas that needs 3d modelling and zero 3d modelling skills and ideas that need analog circuit designs but I'm strictly a digital circuit and software guy. I can talk to people who have the skills but they have no time to be involved. We need a way to direct people to where they are needed.
That's a cool idea @Gravis, I'll note it for the Hackaday team.
Hey @Gravis you can also post on the #Jobs Board project for now
I'd like a list - I'd be happy to help curate it - Homebrew CPUs - for novel CPUs made with chips, transistors, relays or whatever. (Can a user create a list? I suspect not.) There's already a Homebrew Computers list, and that's great, but will have lots of Z80, 68000 and other standard micros - I'd like somewhere to collect and showcase projects which look at CPU design.
Hey @BigEd I cant promise anything, but user curated lists were a recent topic and something we would like to have also.
The site works pretty well for documenting projects. My least favorite thing about hackaday.io is that gallery views show up in the back button history. So it is hard to look at several pictures of a project and then "back" to the description.
Whether to add or not add picture scrolling to navigation history is universally disagreed on and will continue to be :) There are links back to the project description by clicking the titles or the "back to description" buttons, if this is a fair compromise.
I can't upload a profile picture. At the same time, there is no issue uploading pictures for a project. With the profile picture, I get back '{error: null, filelink: "https : // cdn.hackaday.io / images / [myid] .png"}'. But when my browser tries to access that file, it gets an "500: Internal Server Error"
Hi did the profile picture eventually upload for you?
Received an email about a private message with had a partial truncated link. It seems the hyperlink is also truncated and in that case it led to a different page. Might want to fix it. (truncate the message either before or after the full link)
https://hackaday.io/project/22521-simple-arduino-binary-clock/log/60994-drc-errors/discussion-86795 -> I can't and shouldn't "read more" when I'm on the actual discussion ;) K.C. Lee made a comment and it seems to be shortened like in the feed but on the actual page.
It was
https://hackaday.io/projects/tag/2017HackadayPrize/sort/date
then it was changed to
https://hackaday.io/projects?tag=2017HackadayPrize&sort=date
then, after a couple of days was back to
https://hackaday.io/projects/tag/2017HackadayPrize/sort/date
and now, after a few more days, it is again
https://hackaday.io/projects?tag=2017HackadayPrize&sort=date
In the end, which format will win, please?
:o)
it depends *when* it will win ;-)
Maybe there is a script to change every few days ?
use the urls with query params (first and third) :) the url nested routes will redirect to them anyway.
@esot.eric, @hackaday I've just worked out how to add strikethrough text to my project logs, instructions etc. I put the process here https://hackaday.io/project/25285-strikethrough-on-hads-delredactordel-editor in case anyone else wants strikethrough text and was missing the editor button.

Ouch!
I can't reply to every comment, it's weird having a discussion (on my project) and suddenly it ends because I can't respond.
Look at the post right below this one, I can reply to everything Craig Hissett said except for the "thanks mate - I'm on Android using the chrome app :-)". And the post below that one I can respond to everything ActualDragon said except the "nope, shifted...".
So it appears that I can't reply to comments that are on the third "level". Am I the only one who has this problem?
after a few replies, it stops giving them. try replying to something a comment or two up in the same disscusion. it will still come up at the bottom. not perfect, but we get the gist
I'm unable to search using the textbox in the menu on my phone; when I click into it to type it loses focus and I end up clicking on the jobs board when the keyboard disappears. Always the jobs board. Every time!
I've been waiting to post this on here for around a week now, but being unable to search I've hadone to wait for it to appear in my feed ha ha!
thanks mate - I'm on Android using the chrome app :-)
dont know if it happens to everyone, but check out the followers on #Actual_Dragonś dance hits and the likes. both the exact same, with the same people. i got suspicous, and hecked out their like/follow lists, my project (sadly) was not on them?
but I follow and like it! but you're right, that's the profile list sorted by "influence"
nope, shifted through all pages on their newest, still nothing, that means they never did like it. and it says 5 people, then it turns out to be like 25
that's why I said you're right ;) something is wrong! @ActualDragon
I just encountered this WEIRD issue :
The editor adds tons of empty spans !
It seems to be related to copy-pasting (with the mouse ?) in the WYSIWYG view of the editor.
Is there any way to contribute to the hackaday.io website to fix bugs, etc? The project gallery pushing fragment ids to the history stack when browsing is a frequent pain/frustration since it makes back-button navigation useless. If the code was on GitHub I'd love to contribute!
Unfortunately not, but by posting here we can be more aware of these issues and squash more bugs. We'll look in to the gallery issue! Cheers!
I've tried digging into hackaday.io a few times to use for project management, but it just evades my attempts.
There don't seem to be many/any tools for collaborating with other team members, despite the chat rooms. The chat is great for slack-style shoot-the-breeze, but not really development in the sense of structured planning and collaboration. I feel incapable of properly articulating this even now, but it occurs to me that if these tools would be redundant to write for the site, then perhaps making existing solutions integrated would help (google docs, video/voip meetings, wikis, closer git-hosting integration).
Separately, the lack of versioning on projects makes "display" difficult. Right now the site is OK for churning toward a usable end-goal, but unless there's a way to mark (like git tags) stable zones that people can view and then follow directions to build their own, why even have the social aspect to the site? On the other hand, if the site's only good for displaying the final result, why have team chat or logs?
HALP! I Cannot tag "@philip1"!!! Even if I type it out completely, click the name in the list, it reverts to "@Philip" Help my lovely Australian friend out.
It actually does link to the right profile but the number isn't part of the link
Correct; mentioning creates a link using his screen name rather than his username.
For example: morganrallen doesn't use captain.morgan :)
Those •s appear every time somebody throws a link to a project worklog in the Hackaday chat, and they look ugly - maybe at least this • character could be replaced?
EDIT: I also wish that, when I link to project logs, I get something other than "Details" in the start of the title - like the project log title, for example.
It would be cool if you could add the project header image to the gallery ;)
Well, there's nothing stopping you from just uploading it again. :)
Plus, I like to crop my header images manually to ensure the header looks the way I want, and a 1400×500 image would look weird in the gallery. So to make us both happy, there'd still have to be a way to not add the header to the gallery.
Well. There is nothing stopping me from hitting inspect element, copy the link, remove the resize part in it etc. - especially if I can't find the original and would love to have a copy of that, I guess. But it also wouldn't hurt to be at the end of the gallery or make people especially unhappy to achieve completeness of project pictures. I like completeness. I don't care about weirdness.
Hi, Maybe there should be a selecton box in the Project details, whereyou can define if the project is open source and under which licensethe project runs.
