Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

This is cool, I'm curious to see how the experiment will turn out! I've thought about bringing up this kind of thing before. It's neat that the CD team had the same idea, and even developed it mor...
Some Codidact communities have MathJax enabled, while others do not. Each community decides whether they want MathJax based on weighing up the advantages and disadvantages. However, Codidact Propo...
We should add proposals.codidact.com to the main site https://codidact.com/. The natural place to put it IMO would be at the end of the listed communities, just after meta.codidact.
I've mostly worked with pine wood, because it's cheap and easy to work with. I've had some projects where I finished it (polyurethane coat, sometimes a stain) and other projects where I didn't (jus...
The trick is getting everything to work together. Typical solar (without battery) installations actually work with the grid. If you generate more power than you need, the balance goes to the utilit...
Canonical URLS are highly recommended for SEO and to prevent competition between duplicate pages. I've been trying to implement this, but I'm unsure how to implement this for pages which repeat but...
I have a cheap drill press and a set of cheap spade bits. Some of the spade bits wobble, the tip makes a circle of as much as 5 mm in diameter for some of them. Others wobble less, 1-2 mm. Since t...
I recall that back in the dark ages of web search (Altavista), search engines were naive and keywords were a huge thing in SEO. People would even create landing pages stuffed with keywords in tiny,...
There were two questions, both with flags and several downvotes (no upvotes). One was deleted for plagiarism. The other included a bunch of links and asked for counter-arguments; it was broad and...
No, because you get to account for the basis. If you bought a house at \$300k and later sold it for \$500k, then only the $200k profit is under consideration for income taxes. Further, the federa...
Do the math! Calculate the present value of each loan. Add the buy down amount to the cost of the loan with the lower interest rate. Whichever is lower wins. That said, there are some additiona...
The fundamentals of SEO haven't changed in two decades: Create great content. Use the words and phrases for which you want to be found in search engines. Ensure that search engines can crawl y...
A healthy community requires both activity and people. The Incubator Q&A category is the place to build activity (and Meta is the place to flesh out issues that come up in doing so), but we'd ...
I created the AI tech proposal primarily because I thought it would be good to have a place to discuss doing stuff with AI models rather than the details of how they are trained and how they work. ...
From the Georgia Pacific page on OSB: Blue edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion And on the specifications page downloadable from the Georgia Pacific web page: BlueRibbon Rated Sheathing ...
Personal opinion, not speaking for the team: There is a tension between being accessible to all, on the one hand, and assuming a baseline of knowledge in a site's topic. On a software-development...
Home Improvement seems like a site where recommendation type questions might happen quite frequently, including product/component recommendations as well as tool recommendations. I think these can ...
In the last 5-10 years, I've noticed that many searches (especially Google) about technical or semi-technical questions, have the results clogged with "content farm" results. It's hard to precisel...
Science tends to discover knowledge by performing experiments in the lab. For example, suppose we have a hypothesis that a volume V of atmospheric air, when compressed quickly to a certain ratio, ...
Could number of characters required in the title of descriptions be lowered from 15 to 4? I would have liked to name my proposal just "Webmasters," but that is too short. It seems like the propose...
Once a proposal is out of the incubator and it has its own site, is the plan to move the incubator Q/A questions to it?
I think it is useful to add in tags that the question might actually have on the community when launched. It makes a more realistic "sandbox", which means that we start to figure out how we want t...
I've heard that for good SEO you need both a <title> tag and an <h1> tag on each page. I have pages that are very visual, think full screen map or full screen images. I'm not sure that...
I'd like to bring active proposals here, but not bulk-move things. Today I plan to make an announcement of this new site and process and ask people to move proposals they're interested in. Among ...
It is probably a little too early in the explosive evolution that is AI/LLM to generalise on what is going to be a good and effective strategy for AI generated content on websites. However Google ...
