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

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.

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 (@ -> 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)

Happy Coding and enjoy the site.
oh ya and now everything is dark theme (thanks @Bookie0 )
@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
do people actually use this website? It would be useful if people use it @sojs
thank [email protected]

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
wow! this deserves a lot more upvotes, and i can see how much time and effort you put in!
wow thanks! It took a month or 2. But now after making it I see a lot of flaws with the idea. @ruiwenge2
hmm. I cant [email protected]
vegan
?
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 ๐)
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]
okay :) np. @KadenBlox
Hey! Pretty Coool!
thanks ! @IGamer123
also this is the most insecure way of logging in ever
haha. I tried. Tried again. Tried another 2 times. Then gave up. I will probably eventually add [email protected]
Cool!
Thanks! @codingjlu

[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
