Give a warning when I forget to enter any tags

Few observations I have on Discussion and Blogs:

1. When asking a question, it would be great to provide relevant questions that are already asked by others as I noticed there are several redundant questions being asked, unless the intent is to increase number of discussions in the forum.
2. Somehow there is a missing thin line between a Discussion and a Question. If a user has asked a question, although he has received a satisfactory answer yet other people provide redundant or similar answers after that and make a Question thread into a Discussion thread. So, it would be great if there is a way to differentiate a thread into a question thread or discussion thread and if the post is a question then provide a way to indicate that the question has been answered.
3. The design and layout of Discussions page and Blogs page are same. I find it difficult whether I'm looking at Discussions or Blogs, specially on PWA as I use Hashnode mostly on phone and the sidebar content hides under burger menu. Currently, my only way to figure out the page is by the button Start Discussion or Write Blog. A medium.com like Blogs listing would help.
4. I believe Blogs deserve more than just Upvote like we have for answers under discussions.
5. Provision to subscribe to Tags so that I would be notified about new posts.

Also, I have one serious question: When are you guys releasing native app? I really miss out new articles/discussions.

P.S. Opinions are always subjective and so are mine. If you disagree with me with your valid answers, I totally respect that.

Allow importing my blog post from my regular blog website. And allow specifying canonical urls.

Having a mobile app would enhance the experience for me. When is that thing coming out? It's taking forever :(

I'd love to have the option to use something OTHER than the aggravatingly cryptic uselessly forgettable and often "just gets in the damned way of normal typing" markdown in favor of something like bbCode. Aaron and I may have been close friends, doesn't mean I don't curse the day he unleashed that train-wreck upon the world.

Something he regretted in hindsight even having been involved in creating.

I would be far more likely to write even more often here and in a much more complete and involved manner if markdown wasn't the only choice for formatting.

The willy-nilly mix of font-sizes, inaccessible font sizes, inconsistent scaling, and mix of pixel metric media queries with elastic font sizes could stand to be fixed too -- I've got about 1k of custom CSS i'm applying with stylish now to even get pages usable. If you're going to use relative font sizes, your media queries should match and not be in fixed metrics -- remember, pixels is for morons who don't give a flying purple fish about users. The WCAG says to use EM, so use 'em!

Hence opening the content column up to at least be semi-fluid might be nice too. It's aggravating as a large font / non-standard font metric user to end up with a content column so narrow it doesn't even hold a dozen words on average per line.

Likewise pick a damned font-face... PREFERABLY not a serif one since on screen media unless you have a HDX/retina/4k display the extra doo-dads on the glyphs compromise legibility. Fine on my workstation with +30% zoom in-browser and 24px == 1em as the system metric, useless illegible crap on my 800x480 netbook or my 1366x768 tablet.

Say it with me people, sans is for screen, serif is for print!

Lightening the page-loads to better leverage caching wouldn't hurt either. STOP inlining SVG that could be cached in the bloody markup... STOP using the fat bloated SVG for things you could store in a font file. Make page loads faster/smoother with less overhead and you'll get more participation.

Some better scripting off graceful degradation would be nice. I've said it a few times and I'll say it again -- I know a number of developers who would fit right in here that won't even TOUCH the place just because scripting off this site goes bits-up face-down... and there's NO reason for that. You can't sign in, you can't type responses, and navigation is busted... when the only content of the site is TEXT.

Likewise better semantics to help in navigating the site wouldn't hurt. You've got multiple H1 without "section", H3 that aren't the start of subsections of the H2 preceeding them, etc, etc... leading to a site that is grammatical/structural gibberish on things like my braille reader.

Remember, unless you use HTML 5's SECTION tag, THE H1 is THE heading on every page that EVERYTHING on EVERY page is a subsection of -- hence the site name typically being the candidate for that. Opening SECTION (or ARTICLE) resets you to H1 depth. An H2 is the start of a major subsection of the page... and H3 is the start of a subsection of the H2 before it. An H4 is the start of a subsection of the H3 preceding it. Care to guess what H5 and H6 MEAN? Likewise HR means a change in topic or section at the paragraph or H2 level. They do NOT mean "fonts in different weights and sizes" or "draw a line across the screen" -- and if you are using them for that purpose you have failed to divine the intent of HTML. JUST as having a H3 without a H2 before it is broken hard to navigate gibberish.

Much like the garbage incomplete scripted trash for forms without actual FORMS, FIELDSET, or LABEL. For the love of Christmas PLACEHOLDER is not a LABEL!

Then people wonder why I say most folks using fancy nonsense like frameworks aren't qualified to write a single line of HTML.

well one thing would be the german layout -> shift + 2 which is on the english layout an @ sign but in the german one a double quote.

this is the one thing. besides that I'm a person who focuses on functionality more than style. so I personally would like a text area with no fancy auto-complete just pure markdown support so I can write what I mean an not what the editor thinks I could mean based on the assumption of the implementing party.

I'm a bash person ;D ....

that's it, I just have way to many things to do at the moment to be more active than I am now. And if I see good answers that nails it I don't write my own. I am even inclined to delete my own answers if I think they distract from a good other one.

The formatting buttons (like B, I) don't work for me in Firefox. Could be some Firefox addon problem. I can just use markdown so it's not a big problem.
