I would like to be able to work with qpixel in a development environment so I could (try to) fix small bugs and build and test locally. I don't have a developer setup now and my OS is apparently t...

I had to reinstall mysql on my Mac, and after some thrashing I was able to again connect to my Qpixel database from the command line. The data is as expected, so it appears that mysql itself is ok...

I am new to Ruby (and Rails) and have just (finally) succeeded in setting up qpixel on my Mac. I headed over to our easy GitHub issues looking for something to use to get started, and then realize...

I followed the instructions to set up Docker on my developer machine and it works great. Sometimes, though, I run into problems after I've pulled updates or switched branches. I don't really unde...

Caching is really important for scaling. I know we cache some data -- something about tags (tags for a post?) has been discussed on meta, and I know the "new posts" silver dot (badge) is cached so...

As of this commit, there is a new environment variable, MAILER_PROTOCOL, that accepts values of http or https. The default is https, but you can set this to http in a development environment to av...

We have automated tests (good). Automated tests usually don't cover everything, so when there's a new version we want to test (say, on the dev server), I'd like to be able to prioritize things tha...

I know this is buried in Discord somewhere, but for better findability: There is a seeds script (where?) that takes new help topics and propagates them to communities on a network. Where do those...

I saw this report about a bug in an error message and figured that would be an easy fix. The incorrect error message is: "Tags can't have more than 5 tags". That should be "Posts can't have...". ...

Did you run the database seeds? (rails db:seed) That should have set up initial post types, help topics, and probably some other stuff. (Edit: but it didn't work for me either, so...) If you wa...

I don't know the correct way to do this, but I was looking at the commit that added donations, and I wonder, as a workaround until you get the correct answer (presumably from Art), it would work to...
