I just found a parsing bug !
The sign "less or equal" is written <= and this breaks the formatting of the next words in a project description...
Please can I request a feature: The ability to 'un-submit' from competitions. I submitted a couple of projects before seeing the requirement for making a new project, and also sometimes you just want to stop pursuing an idea and having half-finished entries makes you look like you're just trying to game the system with lots of entries. I am wary of entering my latest project, because it currently feels like a major commitment, and I don't want to waste the judges time :)
Last year someone suggested throwing a big heading in the project description to the judges, something like: "JUDGES: Nothing to see here."
I think there may be a problem with the file upload feature. I uploaded this file https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/10524450258816/PyEnrf24.py, but then deleted it, and re-uploaded it, however the file that is there is the original without the copyright information. I will try to get around this by changing the file name, and uploading again.
This entry on the stack, https://hackaday.io/page/1613-editing-logs, got me thinking. It'd be great if users who finds a typos in other's projects could submit changes to the author without being a project member. Then the author could simply accept or reject the suggestions. It'd be another way that the users could collaborate.
Just wrote a reply to Shakipu (says: March 23, 2016 at 7:49 am) in the comment section from http://hackaday.com/2016/03/23/the-dark-arts-cross-site-scripting/
The reply can not be seen, and if I try to reply once again with the same answer, the page http://hackaday.com/wp-comments-post.php returns the message "Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!", which is true, except the reply is not displayed in any browser.
:o/
Hmmm, the answer is now visible. I don't know why it took minutes to be displayed, but never mind, please forget about this one, thnks!
"500: Internal Server Error" and missing animated pictures
In those two projects, https://hackaday.io/project/7542-rogeorge-cell and https://hackaday.io/project/6356-delta-sigma-versus-pwm, there were some animated pictures (i.e. https://hackaday.io/project/6356/gallery#89d3fb77da49d7c052c6fa894df9911b or h_t_t_p_s_:_/_/_cdn.hackaday.io/images/2663441441260943029.jpg - without underscores
), but now they are gone from both the log entry and the Gallery.
The animated pictures were prepared using this method: https://hackaday.io/project/6621-hack-the-hack-a-day-editor/log/20475-add-animated-pictures-no-hack-just-a-how-to
1. What does error 500 mean and how can be avoided?
2. Is there any way to put those animated pictures back, please?
Can't help but note the multiple entries of "i liked RollingPi.", "f liked RollingPi.", "g liked RollingPi.", "a liked RollingPi.", "af liked RollingPi.","bern liked RollingPi." on feed started about 35 minutes ago.
2 issues with this:
Isn't there supposed to be some filtering of feed if it were the same person clicking on the button on/off? If that's the case, the un-"like" event and "like" should be neutral after the filtering.
Is this cheating as "like" now has a dollar figure on the contest as there are multiple similar single letter users in a short period of time on same project.
we deleted all the fake likes, cheating is obviously not allowed
Feature Request: Please, add automatic generation of the list of logs on the left of the project page (preferably in chronological order with dates) - this feature is really really really needed!!! Thanks!
Yeah, the discussion of creating a log-TOC has come up a few times, usually with the conclusion that "you can add your own in the description" but that seems to usually end up happening once, and never gets updated, in my case anyhow ;)
Yes, we can add, but size of description is strictly limited (1000 characters) and size of visible part of details is limited too - from some point it started showing ... and you need to go to "See all details" in order to see full list
OK - I exceeded size of the details section and there is nothing to remove - so I "simulated" logs section on the left by adding every log as a link into external links section of the project:
https://hackaday.io/project/9795-nedonand-homebrew-computer
I believe that hackaday.io website could have logic to generate similar lists automatically - it should not be difficult to write...
The possibility of a drop down menu list of the logs entries when you hover the mouse over 'log' on the menu bar would be so cool.
I write my listings myself and it's slow and error-prone. This made me discover weird behaviours of the online editor by the way.
K.C. Lee's drop-down menu is a Brilliant Idea.
I think it's better too see full list all the time - not hidden under drop-down control - left side of the page is mostly blank anyway...
Right.
The "trick" is that I use some special formatting that can be parsed by sed and provide a list of log pages for my dump script #HackaDump
When the auto-list feature is done, I'll have to update my script once and for all, instead of keeping my projects manually updated...
Please HaD team, please make this feature at last :-)
Reply-level's not deep enough... Clever solution using the external-links section. Plausibly even automatable via curl, hmm...
Something to think about for #HackaDump ... But then, it could become a mess when actual external links are used.
I recently started to use the draft feature in the project logs. I realized that the project log date will be the date when it is first created and not when published. When I publish it, it will be showing up in the feed days earlier, means if somebody want to follow it probably will miss it.
Can you please change it somehow?
Recently my feed started showing items from the "Stack", there used to be an option to disable that....Has it moved or gone away? I'd like to not see anything from there in my feed if possible..
I didn't get the "why" answered, but they removed the settings for the feed some weeks ago.
That's unfortunate.. The feed was useful before it started getting flooded...
I'm back to injected Javascript to hide stuff I don't want to see...
Are there any easy to delete "code snippet" blocks once you put it in? They are also kind of hard to delete if they happens to be at the very end of a log.
Hi K.C.! You can go to edit project and do it, does this not work?
Depending on where I do the delete, the code snippet box stays, but the text below it flows into the box. If the box is the vary last element, then you can't select past it to delete it.
I actually had to copy/paste and discard the changes a few times because of that. Would be nice to have a close or delete button on it.
Bullet points are an excellent tool to convey information fast in the projects logs.
In the project log editor they have different shapes depending on the indentation level (disc, square, circle) and it is very readable, on the actual log page they have all circles and margin (spacing) is inconsistent with the rest of the text... difficult to read and ugly.
Please change the bullet types depending on the level indentation, so that they appear in the same way that in the log editor.
To remove the inconsistent margin in these bullet lists edit the /css/sass/structure/_normalize.scss file, line 291 and remove "margin: 1em 0;".
I see you've made some changes on the single log page, so now the differently indented bullet points are distinguishable, however you forgot to make them on the project page as well... they're still the same.
Also the spacing between the list elements makes it inconsistent with the rest of the text, look at this ugly thing: https://hackaday.io/project/10293-raspberry-pi-3-based-workstation/log/33893-milestone-1-part-1-the-functions
Thanks solenoid, will take a closer look at list formatting.
I'll give an example I'd expect to see:
This is what it looks in the editor and what I expect everywhere else:
This is what I see on the individual project log page:
This is what I expect to see on the individual project log page:
This is what I see on the project page (notice same bullet types):
This is what I expect to see on the project page:
The vertical spacing at 3 levels deep makes the lists even more ugly.
My project was listed on the front page, but the lowercase Mu character (μ) was uppercased to an M!

The location field in the user profile does not handle accented characters. I live in Linköping, Sweden, but my profile page displays the "ö" garbled: https://hackaday.io/raek
Hackaday prize is now 2016. We are from Myanmar (Yes, a green land opened it's door recently). We are not eligible yet. "The Contest is not open to residents of Quebec, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar (formerly Burma), North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or any ...". Why we are not in a part of this open community? Myanmar is running on our own path to democracy. Everybody know it and you still considering us like North Korea, Sudan, Syria!!! I strongly requested for eligibility again. Dear teams, please find a way for us.
It is your country's rules and we sincerely hope that next year you can join us. You can still put up a project and be a part of the community. We love having you here.
Hi. I am so excited to have the opportunity to enter my submission, thank you! I've had a few people report "Liking" my project, iCaries, but it is not showing up. One did write a nice comment, and it shows, but not the "Like". Today, two of the "Likes" are missing, but I received their email confirmations, skull +1, for each yesterday. Just wondered if there is a way to have someone look into that for me. I'm happy to forward the confirmation emails. Thank you again!
hi. list of people who liked iCaries can be seen here https://hackaday.io/hackers/all/project/10169/likers please let me know if you got email notification from someone who's not on the list. you can send me private message if easier. thank you!
Yes, I got two email notifications from two who are not on my list. I'll send you a private message. Thank you for such a quick reply, impressive!
Hi Ivan, just forwarded two email notifications from two people not on the list.
Would be nice to be able to enter some general text in the "File Area" section for a project.
e.g. license, a short description of what the files are for.
You can write a description for each file independently. But your idea is noted, thanks!
Please add the 2016HACKADAYPRIZE tag in the "Browse by Tag:" drop down menu from page https://hackaday.io/projects
Is there any other way to sort only the 2016 Prize entries?
link to all official entries https://hackaday.io/submissions/prize2016/list. the link is under 'more' menu
I need to be able to sort by date the 2016 Prize projects only. Or by skulls, or other criteria, like in the page for https://hackaday.io/projects
Still no ETA on the "cancel project collaborator invitations when they have not yet responded"?
Also, what's with the "likes", put back "skulls" and demote the person who had this idea.
