Hey folks! Personally I used Carbon quite some times in the past, but I saw some possible improvements and also thought about further additions such a product could have.

That's why a friend and me released a similar product available at snappify.io, maybe someone finds it interesting!


thanks for your feedback! we changed the image


thx for your hint! we've adjusted it on our page (you may have to reload with clearing your browser's cache before). we will deploy a new version in the evening where we'll also include a link to the license. cheers!


We really want to say thanks to you guys! Honestly we didn't even thought about reaching such a big audience. We now already have some registered users on our platform (apart from family and friends) and also the first people are engaging with answering questions.

Of course there are still pain points in our platform and we know that it is difficult to compete with others feature-wise after 6 months of development in our free time. But we are confident that we can make TrueQ an outstanding platform in the next months & years if we stay on it.

We are definitely very thankful for all your comments and feedback, exactly that's what we were missing in the last months and it helps us guiding TrueQ in the right direction.

And that already the first people are really engaging on TrueQ gives us an extra motivation boost! This is what is breathing life into TrueQ. Thank you!!


Just wanting to state that we did not down vote on pier25's comment. Everyone should feel free to use the theming mode he / she likes best.


As you mentioned, we give the possibility to switch to light mode and also save the decision of the user, so it will be persistent to your needs after revisiting TrueQ.

Thx for your feedback regarding the OS setting, we definitely want to implement this. :)


That's great, but you should stop the dark mode evangelization propaganda.


We are for sure not gonna show ads. We are currently experimenting with different financing models, let's see. We actually want to become a developer platform which will include much more features than just Q&A.


Over the last 6 months we've spent most of our free time developing our side hustle. It's called TrueQ and is a new Q&A platform for developer.

Of course we know there are a handful of other platforms out there which already do this job, but we strive to deliver a platform which really focusses on its community and gives you a nice UX when describing your software development problem or providing an answer for it.

We have many plans for the platform and are already developing future features which will make the platform more unique. Nevertheless after 6 months of development in complete privateness, it is time to tell other people about it and gather feedback - that's why we're here.

We would love to hear what you guys are thinking about TrueQ and would really appreciate if you help us building a new community by spreading the word and start engaging with us on our platform.

Curious what you think will make your site better?

Will you have upvotes and downvotes on questions?

Are all questions on topic? Opinion questions, duplicate questions, questions about general software usage (how to change a color in photoshop), not software questions (how to bake a cake)

Will there be moderators? Tags? Tag moderators?

The first question I saw as clearly an attempt to gamify the user's rep. They asked a very basic question and then answer it (poorly) and checked their answer as the correct answer.

S.O. has runnable snippets. Will you do that too?

Just curious what your vision is


Can you describe what makes your code editor UX better than StackOverflow’s code editor?


SO has a code editor? Do you mean the text box with ``` for code boundaries?


Maybe this?

Though I'm mostly fine with ```
