We're looking at changing the front page of Stack Apps to look more like a proper app "marketplace" and less like a run of the mill Stack Exchange site. Proposal (third draft) This would replace The …

I agree that there needs to be a way to discover API endpoints. Especially with the brave new world of SE 2.0 potentially leading to an ever increasing number of API-ified sites out there. However, …

This is a tricky one, and I can't really say how it will be solved in the future but we'll have to figure out something. The inability to render questions is kind of a major deficiency (if one that d …

Whelp, that was an oversight. accept_rate should now be returned on both user and shallow_user. Note that when insufficient data is available to calculate an accept rate, we don't return anything at …

The icon_url images returned by StackAuth (and /stats) should all now have transparent backgrounds.

Anything that supports a sort of activity can do this already. ?sort=activity&min={start-date}&max={end-date} Where start-date and end-date are unix timestamps. Update /questions and /questions/ …

Search intitle is now case insensitive.

If your [app] isn't available at the end of the day tomorrow, its not getting considered. The cutoff is the start of "the first week of August," so you have (roughly) until its August 1st or later ac …
