Help! - A place to find help

Welcome to Help

What is help?

Help is an online tool to either find help, or help others. For example, if you are really good with back end, you can navigate to the search page, type in "back end" and "back-end", and quickly find people who need help with back-end.

And that's about it.

How Help search Works

The search works as follows:
When you post something to Help, you provide tags. Tags are one of the most important parts to a Help post. Without them, you will always be last in search results.
Lets say that there are three posts:

one with the tag of "back-end", "python".
one with the tags of "dev", "back-end", and "servers"
one last with "HTML", and "front-end"
If you search (either at "/pleas" or "/search" - it does not matter, you will be routed to the same search URL) for "back-end" and "servers" you will get the results as follows:

one with the tags of "dev", "back-end", and "servers"
another with the tag of "back-end", "python".
one last with "HTML", and "front-end"
The results that are not relevant

What do you wish to do on help?

I have spent ~4 months working on this, and I hope that because of this work, no one will have to work that long again.

Hi everyone

I have just released profiles .
To see yours go to https://help.sojs.dev/@<your username>
To edit it, go to https://help.sojs.dev/@<your username>/settings.
You can also click on other peoples username to their profiles.

@sojs yay

@sojs uhhh what is this

@sojs Did you send this to al the voters?

I just updated the site, so now you can craft a bio, link your website, and more. :)
[My doing my best to impersonate a proffesional marketer :)]@maxina

Yes why. @ParrotDev

@sojs but like what is the website for?

@sojs pictures you can hear

Scroll up. Or just visit it. There is info on the home page. click me!!!
@maxina

ah yes. @TsunamiOrSumth

@sojs I like the css ..

@sojs ayyy the profile page is looking very good

@sojs YAY i finally have a profile on something!

@sojs am i able to change the pfp?

Just btw, I know @sojs, but apparently this is frowned upon by moderators (pinging multiple people like that), though it isn't in the rules. FYI

thank you! @SudhanshuMishra

thanks! @MarcusWeinberger

I am adding a little link for that. It is currently tied to your gravatar. I am also adding a "change email" option. @bwoop

haha! Cool! @bwoop

Frowned upon? Welp. Bit too late to change it :| @PYer

@sojs i also can't seem to post comments without making another account or linking something else (which im not really comfortable with for security reasons)

@bwoop lol

working on it. @bwoop

okay @bwoop, worked on it for a bit....... (ahem I had it finished a week or to ago ~~forgot to tell you~~). But now you can comment without signing up. Looks better too!

@sojs thanks!

np! @bwoop

2 major updates everyone

(And one in development!)
~~calm down mods~~

New Comment system!
- sorry people who already had comments on your posts. those got deleted. Now, though, you dont need to sign up to an alternate service to comment. Works out of the box. (you do need to log in)
and also, you now get an email everytime you get a notification (acceptance, someone joins, comments, replies....)
(and the in dev one)
soon there will be newsletters. This erases the need to do these comments where I ping all the voters and ensures that even if you did not upvote you will get an email
(I will make an email validation thing, but for now there isnt, so just go to your settings (@<your username> -> settings) and change your email to a valid one)
(You do have the option to turn off either newsletter emails (no more than once a week I promise, and only for important stuff), and notifications (I would keep these on- that way you can reply)

- @sojs

Happy Coding and enjoy the site.
oh ya and now everything is dark theme (thanks @Bookie0 )

@sojs yay

yessir @JWZ6
(quickly realizes that the server is not started
GOGOGOG click RUN!)

@sojs YAAAAY

yayaya! @ch1ck3n
(I did it!!!! :) )
~~and lets not talk about the fat smiley up there~~

thanks for the update, but please don't mass ping :) @sojs

yessir... just created newsletters (opt out in settings).. so there is no more need. Wont do it in the future, ~~unless its really really important~~ :)
@Bookie0

@sojs lol

@sojs actually no, spam pinging is never a good idea :) make a new post if you've updated the original repl significantly

hmmm I feel like thats farming.... @DynamicSquid

@sojs nope, as long as you don't spam post and actually made a significant enough change

@sojs oo nice work .. really awesome

do people actually use this website? It would be useful if people use it @sojs

thank [email protected]

pogger

No joking, this is literally the best thing on repl.it!

Niice!!! I asked a question

Like Stack Overflow, but implementing replit! Pretty cool. It would be kind of cool if instead of inviting people to the repl, you could contact them privately and see if you would like to work with them.
Pretty cool though!

yup that was one of my original ideas, but it is very hard to implement. That is what the "comments" are supposed to replace. Also, read the github wikis, there is a section about that. @PYer

Nice concept! The web design is also really cool :)

thank you! @DynamicSquid

what I find funny is that my life would have been a whole lot easier if one of these existed already. I looked at the repl created date and it was like 4 months ago. Welp. @DynamicSquid
To tell you the truth, though, the hardest part was making the graphics, there all home-made. :) (With canva but whatever)

@sojs The graphics turned out great! Especially your homepage, it's really engaging and clean!

thank you! @DynamicSquid

vegan
?

?? @RobertDowneyJr

name is incredibly creative how did you think of it

My genius and very large brain :) @DylanZhaXcamop

hey maybe don't beg for upvotes at the end of ur post (asking = begging on replit)

haha I kno. It ain't begging if you use the word "please" :).
Got [email protected]

On replit, it is begging if you use the word please, but sorry for me rude way of telling you - I made a lot of mean comments yesterday @sojs

Oh your fine. It me being the sour grouch :). @Whippingdot
And also I feel like asking for comments and upvotes is the same as asking to subscribe in youtube videos.
(Of course in hindsight I realise that everyone hates it 🙂)

o correction add an extra closing bracket after the smiley face :) @sojs

ah yes. @Whippingdot

~~now it looks like a smiley with a double chin~~ @sojs

haha @Whippingdot

Is it okay if I used some parts of your account system for my project?

sure. @KadenBlox

Sure, but remember that mine is tied to Firebase. It will not work out of the box, you will need to configure it to fit yours, just upvote my thing if you want to use it :) :). haah you don need [email protected]

@sojs Don't worry, I'll upvote and stuff, I'll also make sure to link my Google Firebase account too.

Thanks for letting me use it, such a huge help!

okay :) np. @KadenBlox

@sojs :)

Hey! Pretty Coool!

thanks ! @IGamer123

also this is the most insecure way of logging in ever

what? No, since I am using a separate comment widget, you have to login to there platform to comment. Annoying, yes. The actuall login does not use that. It is one of my own making, and is secure. @ch1ck3n

@sojs oh ok

btw did you notice replit is slow today?

ya. It keeps glitching... @ch1ck3n

@ch1ck3n

or is it just my GODDANG BIG REPL

ya! what is in there... :) @ch1ck3n

@sojs code

@sojs

since I am using a separate comment widget

make your own comment system you lazy bean

haha. I tried. Tried again. Tried another 2 times. Then gave up. I will probably eventually add [email protected]

wait i just looked at dogenet and I saw your comments system. Hm. I could make something like that but there would be no replying to comments themselves. @ch1ck3n

@sojs yes

checked the size of help lately...?

Hugeness......
@ch1ck3n

and also about the comment system, I have started making mine. Just visit any plea to see a preview. @ch1ck3n

@sojs niceeeee

try working on better css on the "crate comment" thing

@sojs https://help.sojs.repl.co/plea/-M_cGFGrzL5t0DcSJRI3

I am currently working on notifying the owner of the plea when a comment is added, and adding link support and stuff to the comments themselves. @ch1ck3n
