I'm a 16 year old from the UK whose learning my way around the programming world. Interested in physics, electronics and IT as well. My aim in life to get somewhere in programming or become an astrophysicist, and live into 2100.
Currently making an iPad app for stackexchange sites, which intenses to be part of the learning process only as I dont have an iPad. But now is getting closer to becoming a complete app, pushing me to save up for an iPad.

is there a way to use my app to authenticate users with only a StackOverflow account with the stackExchange oauth api 2.1? I thought there was no such thing as just Stackoverflow accounts anymore. every user has a stackexchange network account, but can choose which site specific "accounts" they have. The API works on the network account, so even if the user has only ever used stackoverflow they still have a network account and can use the API. |

Link field on notification type Ah right, I was stripping all the HTML, probably should have checked the raw data more thoroughly before posting. But it seems most (if not all) notifications only have one link in them? Would it be possible to add a link field and have it contain the link that is in the body? |

Link field on notification type But why is this inconsistent with many 2.0 items. link was introduced to avoid having to build the URL yourself? |

Installing user scripts on site? Well if they have the same security restrictions, then won't the potential for abuse will be the same? If that's the case then can't the approving be the same as it is now, anything goes apart from malicious scripts. In fact by making them installable on the site stackexchange can then block them, like apps can be blocked by key. |

Can we have the display_name field in the /me/associated route? I wonder if Kevin doesn't reply because he doesn't see them (there's been a lot of Off Topic questions lately), it would be nice to be able to @ping him, from anywhere. |

Correct user behaviour when /me returns no items Well write access with accounts isn't supported with the API, and creating accounts kind of falls under that, so you are stuck with constructing the URL manually, the URL won't really change unless theres a massive overhaul of the network, which is very rare. Once the user has logged in to their OpenID the site should become aware of the SE profile. |

Correct user behaviour when /me returns no items Why don't you like sending them to site/users/login what other option are you looking for? |

Can we have the display_name field in the /me/associated route? Really it should return the full user object, and just allow you to select which fields you want using filters. |

What's the best way to get all available data related to a user's reputation? If you use an app key the 300 request limit, is bumped up to 10,000 requests (per day per user). You can request the last 100 reputation changes, and work out which day they fall on yourself by doing something like api.stackexchange.com/2.0/users/191463/… Then you can set the page parameter to get the next 100 (though you'd have to be wary of duplicates or missing out rep changes over the page break, if the user increases their reputation between your requests, you can do it solely on dates to avoid this) |

StackInbox v2.2 - Inbox client for Mac (Now with notifications) @Alex, sorry it is a bug, you'll have to go into the app preferences and untick then retick the menu bar option. You'll only have to do this once. But I will fix it (and the help menu crash) as soon as I can, which will be in 3 weeks as I have exams currently. |

Why are Meta sites' “site_state” = “linked_meta”? Meta.SO is not listed as a meta site at all in the API, not in site_type or site_state. the two fields are duplicates concerning meta sites. |

Stack on Go - A wrapper library in Go I realised this shortly after asking, and then found that Go has a neat command, go fix which fixed all but one error, which was not hard to fix (for someone who only just knew about Go). Thank you for this library, it's cut down on a lot of relatively boring code that got unwieldy quickly in Java. |
