One way in which I see this platform excelling for Judaism Q&A is through the platform team's **responsiveness to feature requests** to enhance the Judaism Q&A experience, in particular. As we're one of the first handful of communities on this still-developing platform, whose code is being developed as an open-source project, there's more potential for us to be able to get features we want implemented. It doesn't hurt that multiple members of the volunteer platform team are knowledgeable, observant Jews themselves.

We've already seen this sort of responsiveness in the rapid addition of the following features, most of which are not available on Stack Exchange and probably won't be:

- [Automatic Sefaria-linking](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276449) of citations that fit Sefaria's expected formatting.

- A custom button in the editor for looking up likely Sefaria-compliant titles.

- A [better Hebrew font](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276677) for post titles  

- [Hierarchical tags](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276376), which will certainly be helpful to many communities on the network, but was requested here because it's especially helpful in the context of Judaism's core texts' complex divisions and subdivisions.
