Under "Making a Good First Impression", a few mechanical notes from someone just making the transition from WB.SE to Codidact -
* Question titles should probably be at the top of the page, instead of the bottom
* Login from another community (for example writing.codidact.com) does not work - I must login from a community that I am already a part of (such as scientific-speculation.codidact.com). I suspect when I subscribe to writing.codidact.com that the problem will go away, but haven't tried it yet.
* No help page (that I've found so far). Figured out that $L a_{E}^{T} x$ markup requires two dollar signs, instead of one, from experience with TiddlyWiki. I'm not sure how someone else would figure it out.
* Latex rendering is a little slow. I think this may be intentional that the preview is replaced with code as I type, and returns back to preview if a second passes without a keypress. But it IS different, and may be offputting to some people. Might be better as an option (and maybe it is; I haven't looked at settings yet).
* Can't drop images in by URL.
* It doesn't appear like there are any accepted answers. It's a bit hard to tell if debate is closed, or still open, on a particular question.

### Positives
* I like the copyright information on each post. It's nice to be crystal-clear what reuse restrictions are.
* I like the "react" feature, although I haven't used it yet.
