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.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

I applied to Google AdSense to be able to use their system to put ads on my site, however my application was rejected due to "insufficient content." Googles help page is pretty vague about how muc...
I'm building a company with a website about widgets. The .com domain name with just "widgets" is already taken, and so are a lot of other keyword related domains. I could get a domain on an alter...
I'm trying to choose between domains with and without multiple dashes: my-awsome-company.example myawesomecompany.example The dashes make it much more readable to me, but I've heard that sea...
I have some old pages on my website that I now redirect to new pages: /old.html -> /new.html Should I include https://example.com/old.html in my XML sitemaps so that search engines find the re...
I've been told that I should get a WordPress website. Looking into it, there is an open-source content management system available from wordpress.org and hosting available for it from wordpress.co...
I'd like to have a backup of my WordPress website. It looks like I'll need to back up the database, some settings, and some uploads. How do I create backups for my site?
I've seen recommendations that search engines like "fresh" content and that I should be continually launching new content on my website for SEO. Is that always the case? That seems to directly co...
I've been hosting my website on shared hosting, but I'm tired of paying their monthly fee. I want to move my website to my home computer. How do I need to configure my DNS records to make that ha...
Meta issue: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288441 I uploaded an image into this question: How accurate are the browser usage statistics at caniuse.com? However it isn't showing up. When I upl...
Web Builders would make a decent name with web.codidact.com as the URL. It's more modern that "Webmasters" and covers more of the site scope than "Web Developers."
I created my account a few days ago; this is my very first post here. IRC I have participated in online forums as an active member since 2008. One of the things that I have learned is that each onl...
When I needed to cut a 4' circle out of the middle of a sheet of plywood, I fabricated a compass by tying a long-enough piece of non-stretchy string to a tack or finishing nail -- I forget which, b...
You can try using pressure with a hard object. Just run something like a pen or plastic knife over the edge of the hem while pushing down (probably after sewing). The pressure will create a crease,...
There's a number of ways to send the user to another URL in JS (from [1]): // Simulate a mouse click: window.location.href = "http://www.w3schools.com"; // Simulate an HTTP redirect: window.l...
Personally, I prefer the domain name to be branded, but short as possible and catchy. It's not the domain name that will make a website more searchable, it's more the content, the structure and pe...
It would be much easier if our website could use a single page application (SPA) framework such as React or Angular without relying on server side rendering (SSR). I've heard that some search engi...
Most WordPress sites that I know of are hosted on other servers. Any reasonable LAMP server, which includes most typical low-cost web hosting services, can host WordPress. Many web hosts include "o...
I think at least some aspects of Steam are already on topic as per the existing proposal, and simple logic/common sense: Usage of Steam to run games (eg. Proton, updates, compatibility modes, ov...
The name of the game should go in every question title. The tag isn't always shown with the question, so it isn't enough context. When I look at the video-games tag I see the following where the ...
Let's say I want to host a public website, for use by anyone on the internet. I am deliberately leaving the exact nature of the website vague, because I want to ask for general things that are appl...
I've added a template to the help, linked from both the "how to propose a community" help topic and the posting guidance when you start a proposal post. We don't yet have a way to pre-populate the...

I like the crayon rail games. I've played a lot of Iron Dragon, some EuroRails, and a smattering of others. I'd like to introduce acquaintances who aren't already experienced gamers to this cate...
