Web developer at the Centre for Effective Altruism primarily focusing on the EA forum. I previously worked in chess programming, and before that as a musician and music teacher. Aside from EA, my interests include Rachmaninoff, Star Trek and the Evans gambit.

The fix for this is now live—thanks!
This fix is now live on the forum

I’ve created a pull request on Github that should fix the quotation marks not working, and you can expect that to be live on the site in 1-2 days. In the mean time, your best bet is probably the Google search with

This (and your other comment about tables in posts) should now be fixed—thanks for letting us know!
FLutter seems interesting, but I think it’s potential will always be limited as long as it’s tied so closely to Dart. Also, given Google’s track record of killing products/platforms with very little warning, I don’t think I’d be too comfortable building an entire business in a Google framework that’s tied to a Google programming language unless the community around it was big enough to take on maintenance if/when it gets killed, which I don’t think is the case here.
+1 for Expo though—it makes life super easy. There’s also the simple alternative of just making a responsive website and writing tiny native apps for each platform that just wrap the site in a webview.
Thanks for the suggestion—I’ve made a note of it!
Great suggestion! I’ve added it to our list of features to consider.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve made a note of all of them!
Thanks for your suggestion! We’re already considering adding the ability to create anonymous posts, but the idea of a unique id to track them is interesting—I’ll make a note of it.
Not a bug—it’s from Where are you donating this year, and why? which is grandfathered into an old experimental voting system (and it’s the only post with this voting system—there are a couple of others with different experimental systems).
