| Nov 7, 2022 at 14:35 | comment | added | Tom J Nowell Mod | there's a meta team for improving .org, but keep in mind the .org forum is a forum, and you're somewhat at the mercy of wether the plugin devs are doing their duty or not with the plugins they put on .org. StackOverflow is also the catch all general stack for programming, individual stacks have stricter more specific scopes. | |
| Nov 7, 2022 at 13:23 | comment | added | Álvaro Franz | Thanks for the clear answer. Makes sense, to a certain degree. Though, you may also see it from this other angle. Everyday a new npm package, js library, fancy project... appears in the web developers world. People ask and get support for them on stackoverflow. If you asked people to go to the Tailwind page or the AlpineJs page to ask for support... stackoverflow wouldn't be what it is. The WordPress forums are not great when it comes to UI. WP SE could take over as the default platform where users go for WordPress related stuff, be it 1st, 2nd or 3rd party... but yeah. | |
