Is there any particular reason why I am unable to embed a Hackaday page within another website? ex: https://www.wallfacerdesign.com/project-1
Embedding is blocked for security reasons, but there is a public read only API.
It returns JSON details of your project if you GET http://api.hackaday.io/v1/projects/165703?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
Hi team,
i am a security researcher and i found some bug and wanted to report to you as i also send these to your mail projects-contact@hackaday.com i hope your team look into these and fix them soon further you can ask for details or what ever information you need.Just because of risk of disclosure i didn't post these here so check mail and get back to me.
If changes just rolled out to the email notifications, mentions within the email are relative, and therefore are broken. There is also the recurring '3D' thing I don't get... Just got this:
<div style=3D"font: 20px helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; lin=
e-height: 25px;"><a style=3D"color: #F6F6F6;" href=3D"https://hackaday.io/h=

=3D is the quoted printable encoding for the = character. Also a line ending with = means join up with next line. Somewhere in the site software the string got over-encoded. Or perhaps the email content wasn't labelled as QP-encoded.
It would be useful to filter the comments/question of the "stack" by user. Time ago I wrote wrote something on the "stack" and now I do not know how to find it.
You could also search for a user, and then filter by Stack entries here https://hackaday.io/search?term=Est&category=page%20stack
Hi! In HackChat, we tried to link a video using a youtu.be link - linking it like https://youtu.be/EXLJJpKe35w failed (grey rectangle with "YouTube" text on top), but linking it like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXLJJpKe35w successfully embedded a video. So, the chat kinda recognizes youtu.be as something embeddable, but seems to fail to fetch info about it (uploader's name that's usually shown on top when embedded) and actually embed the video.
Hi. There is a project of mine which was removed silently. It's just disappeared without any previous claim or notice. Its link was: https://hackaday.io/project/165726-xling.
What should I do in this case?
It may have been temporarily flagged as spam and looks resolved.
Hello . I'm try to load picture of my (not private after load page it will be public) project . But site accept only 6 picture. I have a lot of steps and i want to upload all of them step by step...
Also i see files (1gb free) but how can i use this files there is not option to load.
Or i can load picture to public area (flicr etc) is it possible to post page using HTML incl ext ilnk
Best regards.
****************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 ;)
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."

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.
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.

I have several issues with the WYSIWYG editor for project logs, but I've condensed them since it looks like they've been mentioned before.
-The difference between a P tag and BR tag is invisible in WYSIWYG mode. I frequently encounter issues writing lists (usually when I'm going back to edit) because the editor decided to change between P and BR, which makes the spacing way off. I can't resolve these P/BR issues in WYSIWYG mode, I have to use HTML mode.
-Every other time I enter HTML mode the line breaks are duplicated!
I can accept minor bugs if they're easy to workaround. In my opinion the WYSIWYG should be side-by-side with the HTML code so I can see/fix issues.
Consider removing the P tag from WYSIWYG-generated HTML entirely. Progress logs can deal with just BRs.
Somebody else mentioned Markdown. That would be cool and might avoid these line break issues.
Also real issue tracker for this site would be nice.
