Quora was co-founded by former Facebook employees Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever in June 2009.{{cite news |last1=Schleifer |first1=Theodore |title=Yes, Quora still exists, and it's now worth $2 billion: According to some, the financing round for the question-and-answer platform speaks to the high valuation for virtually everything these days in the tech sector. |url=https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/5/16/18627157/quora-value-billion-question-answer |access-date=May 17, 2019 |publisher=Vox |date=May 16, 2019 |archive-date=May 16, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190516234718/https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/5/16/18627157/quora-value-billion-question-answer |url-status=live }} In an answer to the question, "How did Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever come up with the name Quora?" Cheever wrote:

We spent a few hours brainstorming and writing down all the ideas that we could think of. After consulting with friends and eliminating ones we didn't love, we narrowed it down to 5 or 6 finalists, and eventually settled on Quora. The closest competition that [the name] Quora had was Quiver.{{cite web |last1=Cheever |first1=Charlie |title=Charlie Cheever's answer to How did Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever come up with the name Quora? |url=https://www.quora.com/How-did-Adam-DAngelo-and-Charlie-Cheever-come-up-with-the-name-Quora/answer/Charlie-Cheever |website=Quora |publisher=Quora, Inc. |date=2011 |access-date=8 May 2023 |archive-date=December 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003500/https://www.quora.com/How-did-Adam-DAngelo-and-Charlie-Cheever-come-up-with-the-name-Quora/answer/Charlie-Cheever |url-status=live }}

In March 2010, Quora, Inc. was valued at $86{{nbsp}}million. Quora first became available to the public on August 11 2009, and was praised for its interface and for the quality of the answers written by its users, many of whom were recognized as experts in their fields. Quora's user base increased quickly, and by late December 2010, the site was seeing spikes of visitors five to ten times its usual load—so much that the website initially had difficulties handling the increased traffic.{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2011/01/05/quora-surge/|title=Quora Signups Explode|editor-last=Lewenstein|date=November 28, 2010|access-date=January 24, 2011|archive-date=August 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180813072848/https://techcrunch.com/2011/01/05/quora-surge/|url-status=live}} Until 2016, Quora did not show ads because "...ads can often be negative for user experience. Nobody likes banner ads, ads from shady companies, or ads that are irrelevant to their needs."

In June 2011, Quora redesigned the navigation and usability of its website.{{cite web|last=Tsotsis|first=Alexia|url=https://techcrunch.com/2011/06/24/inspired-by-wikipedia-quora-aims-for-relevancy-with-topic-groups-and-reorganized-topic-pages/|title=Inspired by Wikipedia, Quora aims for relevancy with topic groups and reorganized topic pages|publisher=techcrunch.com|date=June 24, 2011|access-date=April 6, 2013|archive-date=June 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180616030357/https://techcrunch.com/2011/06/24/inspired-by-wikipedia-quora-aims-for-relevancy-with-topic-groups-and-reorganized-topic-pages/|url-status=live}} Co-founder Adam D'Angelo compared the redesigned Quora to Wikipedia, and stated that the changes to the website were made on the basis of what had worked and what had not when the website had experienced unprecedented growth six months earlier. In September 2012, co-founder Charlie Cheever stepped down as co-operator of the company, taking an advisory role.{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2012/09/11/quora-cheever/|title=Quora Co-Founder Charlie Cheever Steps Back From Day-To-Day Role At The Company|last=Cutler|first=Kim-Mai|date=September 11, 2012|publisher=TechCrunch|access-date=June 25, 2017|archive-date=August 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826124131/https://techcrunch.com/2012/09/11/quora-cheever/|url-status=live}} D'Angelo then retained a high degree of control over the company.

In January 2013, Quora launched a blogging platform allowing users to post non-answer content.{{cite web|url= https://techcrunch.com/2013/01/23/quora-launches-blogging-platform-with-mobile-text-editor-to-give-every-author-a-built-in-audience/|title= Quora Launches Blogging Platform With Mobile Text Editor To Give Every Author A Built-In Audience|publisher= TechCrunch|date= January 23, 2013|access-date= February 1, 2013|last= Constine|first= Josh|archive-date= June 16, 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180616030633/https://techcrunch.com/2013/01/23/quora-launches-blogging-platform-with-mobile-text-editor-to-give-every-author-a-built-in-audience/|url-status= live}} In March of that same year Quora also established a full-text search of questions and answers on its website,{{cite web |url= https://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/03/21/quora-finally-introduces-full-text-search-to-boost-content-discov |archive-url= https://archive.today/20131114173826/http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/03/21/quora-finally-introduces-full-text-search-to-boost-content-discov |url-status= dead |archive-date= November 14, 2013 |title= Quora finally introduces full-text search to boost content discovery |last= Russell |first= Jon |date= March 21, 2013 |access-date= November 14, 2013 |publisher= The Next Web }} and extended the feature to mobile devices in late May 2013.{{cite web |url= https://techcrunch.com/2013/05/29/quora-mobile-search |title= Quora Brings Full-Text Search to Mobile to Unlock FAQ&As for Any Keyword |last= Constine |first= Josh |date= May 29, 2013 |access-date= November 14, 2013 |publisher= TechCrunch |archive-date= November 13, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131113052935/http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/29/quora-mobile-search/ |url-status= live }} It also announced in May 2013 that usage metrics had tripled relative to the same time in the prior year.{{cite web |url=https://techcrunch.com/2013/05/28/quora-grows-more-than-3x-across-all-metrics-in-the-past-year/ |title=Quora Grew More than 3X across All Metrics in the Past Year |last=Tsotsis |first=Alexia |date=May 28, 2013 |access-date=November 14, 2013 |archive-date=June 20, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620153202/https://techcrunch.com/2013/05/28/quora-grows-more-than-3x-across-all-metrics-in-the-past-year/ |url-status=live }} In November 2013, Quora introduced a feature called Stats to allow all Quora users to see summary and detailed statistics of how many people had viewed, upvoted, and shared their questions and answers.{{cite news|url= http://allthingsd.com/20131112/quora-gives-its-writers-a-stats-dashboard/|title= Quora Gives Its Writers a Stats Dashboard|last= Gannes|first= Liz|date= November 12, 2013|access-date= November 14, 2013|newspaper= AllThingsD|archive-date= November 15, 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131115033058/http://allthingsd.com/20131112/quora-gives-its-writers-a-stats-dashboard/|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= http://www.fastcompany.com/3021511/fast-feed/quora-stats-tells-you-if-people-find-your-posts-useful|title= 'Quora Stats' Tells You If People Find Your Posts Useful|last= Truong|first= Alice|work= Fast Company|date= November 12, 2013|access-date= November 14, 2013|publisher= Fast Company|archive-date= November 13, 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131113014251/http://www.fastcompany.com/3021511/fast-feed/quora-stats-tells-you-if-people-find-your-posts-useful|url-status= live}} TechCrunch reported that, although Quora had no immediate plans for monetization, they believed that search ads would likely be their eventual source of revenue.{{cite web|url= https://techcrunch.com/2013/11/12/quora-confirms-its-favoring-search-ads-for-eventual-monetization-launches-author-stats-tool/|title= Quora Signals It's Favoring Search Ads For Eventual Monetization, Launches Author Stats Tool|last= Constine|first= Josh|date= November 13, 2013|access-date= November 14, 2013|publisher= TechCrunch|archive-date= February 20, 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190220005311/https://techcrunch.com/2013/11/12/quora-confirms-its-favoring-search-ads-for-eventual-monetization-launches-author-stats-tool/|url-status= live}}

Quora was evolving into "a more organized Yahoo Answers, a classier Reddit, an opinionated Wikipedia", and became popular in tech circles.

In March 2016, Quora acquired the online community website Parlio.{{cite news | url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/30/quora-parlio/ | title=Quora's first acquisition is Arab Spring instigator's Q&A site Parlio | work=TechCrunch | date=March 30, 2016 | access-date=March 31, 2016 | archive-date=February 9, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190209065615/https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/30/quora-parlio/ | url-status=live }}

Users were able to add descriptions to questions. In early December 2015, these were limited to 800 characters, and questions themselves to 150, not affecting existing questions.{{Cite web|url=https://quorablog.quora.com/Quora-the-importance-of-canonical-questions|title=Quora & the importance of canonical questions|website=Quora|access-date=November 17, 2021|archive-date=December 28, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003552/https://quorablog.quora.com/Quora-the-importance-of-canonical-questions|url-status=live}} In August 2017, question details were discontinued entirely and replaced with an optional source URL input field to provide context, reportedly to encourage users to phrase questions more descriptively. Existing question details were stored in comments under respective questions.{{Cite web|url=https://productupdates.quora.com/Changes-to-further-emphasize-canonical-questions|title=Changes to further emphasize canonical questions|website=Quora|access-date=July 25, 2018|archive-date=December 28, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003502/https://productupdates.quora.com/Changes-to-further-emphasize-canonical-questions|url-status=live}}

On 9 February 2017, Quora announced changes to its anonymity feature, detaching anonymous questions and edits from accounts. When asking or answering anonymously, an anonymous edit link is generated, which is then the only channel to edit the question or answer.[https://productupdates.quora.com/Upcoming-Changes-to-Anonymity-on-Quora Quora product updates: Upcoming changes to anonymity on Quora] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003503/https://productupdates.quora.com/Upcoming-Changes-to-Anonymity-on-Quora |date=December 28, 2023 }} by Riley Patterson on February 9, 2017

Since then, commenting anonymously and toggling one's answer between anonymous and public is no longer possible. These changes went into effect on 20 March 2017. Users were able to request a list of anonymous edit links to their existing anonymous questions and answers until then.{{Cite web|title=Q&A site Quora clamps down on anonymity – will review content before publishing, restrict actions|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/10/qa-site-quora-clamps-down-on-anonymity-will-review-content-before-publishing-restricts-actions/|access-date=2020-07-14|website=TechCrunch|language=en-US|date=2017-02-10|archive-date=February 2, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240202184740/https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/10/qa-site-quora-clamps-down-on-anonymity-will-review-content-before-publishing-restricts-actions/|url-status=live}}

In April 2017, Quora claimed to have 190{{nbsp}}million monthly unique visitors, up from 100{{nbsp}}million a year earlier.

In September 2018, Quora reported that it was receiving 300{{nbsp}}million unique visitors every month.

Adam D'Angelo stated:

The overwhelming majority of the content accessed was already public on Quora, but the compromise of account and other private information is serious.

By May 2019, Quora was valued at $2{{nbsp}}billion as a company and it was finalizing a $60{{nbsp}}million investment round, which was led by Valor Equity Partners, a private equity firm with ties to Tesla, Inc. and SpaceX. In spite of this, the site still showed very few ads compared to other sites of its kind and the company was still struggling to turn a profit, having made only $20{{nbsp}}million in revenue in 2018. Several investors passed on the opportunity to invest in Quora, citing the company's "poor track record of actually making money." Schleifer characterized the disparity between Quora's valuation as a company and its actual profits as a result of "the high valuation for virtually everything these days in the tech sector."

In December 2019, Quora announced that it would open its first international engineering office in Vancouver, which would deal with machine learning and other engineering functions.{{cite web |last1=D'Angelo |first1=Adam |title=Opening a Vancouver Quora Office |url=https://www.quora.com/q/quora/Opening-a-Vancouver-Quora-Office |publisher=Quora |access-date=5 January 2020 |archive-date=December 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003607/https://quorablog.quora.com/Opening-a-Vancouver-Quora-Office |url-status=live }} That same month, Quora launched its Arabic, Gujarati, Hebrew, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu versions.{{cite web |last1=Lee |first1=Elyn |title=Quora is now available in 24 Languages! |url=https://www.quora.com/q/quora/Quora-is-now-available-in-24-Languages |publisher=Quora |access-date=5 January 2020 |archive-date=June 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200618042539/https://www.quora.com/q/quora/Quora-is-now-available-in-24-Languages |url-status=live }}

In June 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, D'Angelo announced that Quora would permanently allow remote working.{{Cite web |title=Remote First at Quora - The Quora Blog - Quora |url=https://www.quora.com/q/quora/Remote-First-at-Quora |website=www.quora.com |access-date=November 28, 2020 |archive-date=December 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003608/https://quorablog.quora.com/Remote-First-at-Quora |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title= The Leaders Making Quora's Knowledge-sharing Mission Possible |work= Built In |first= Kim |last= Conway |date= April 25, 2022 |url= https://builtin.com/brand-studio/leaders-making-quoras-knowledge-sharing-mission-possible |access-date= May 26, 2022 |archive-date= May 25, 2022 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220525225525/https://builtin.com/brand-studio/leaders-making-quoras-knowledge-sharing-mission-possible |url-status= live }}

On 19 April, Quora eliminated the requirement that users use their real names and allowed users to use pseudonyms.{{cite web |last=D'Angelo |first=Adam |title=Allowing everyone to contribute to Quora |publisher=Quora |date=April 19, 2021 |url=https://quorablog.quora.com/Allowing-everyone-to-contribute-to-Quora |accessdate=April 21, 2021 |archive-date=December 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228003504/https://quorablog.quora.com/Allowing-everyone-to-contribute-to-Quora |url-status=live }}

On 5 August, Quora began allowing contributors to monetize their content. In addition, the platform launched a subscription service called Quora+ which requires subscribers to pay a $5 monthly fee or a $50 annual subscription to access content that any creator chooses to put behind a paywall.{{cite news |last1=Silberling |first1=Amanda |title=Creators can now monetize their expertise on Quora |url=https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/05/creators-can-now-monetize-their-expertise-on-quora/ |work=TechCrunch |access-date=9 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210806080530/https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/05/creators-can-now-monetize-their-expertise-on-quora/ |archive-date=6 August 2021 |date=5 August 2021 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=Quora Joins the Creator Economy with a New Space Subscription Earning Option |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/in/news-releases/quora-joins-the-creator-economy-with-a-new-space-subscription-earning-option-857722243.html |publisher=PR Newswire |access-date=9 August 2021 |date=5 August 2021 |archive-date=June 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220608124220/https://www.prnewswire.com/in/news-releases/quora-joins-the-creator-economy-with-a-new-space-subscription-earning-option-857722243.html |url-status=live }}

On 22 November, Quora removed the ability to answer questions anonymously. Instead, they encouraged people, who do not want to reveal their identity for legitimate reasons, to create alternative accounts not using their real name. The move ties in the no longer needing to use real name for accounts. The intentions of the change was to reduce the amount of policy-violating anonymous answers.{{cite web |last1=William |first1=Gunn |title=Removing anonymous answers |url=https://productupdates.quora.com/Removing-anonymous-answers |website=Quora |access-date=6 November 2024 |date=15 November 2021}}

;URL format

URLs of questions contain only the question title without a numeric identifier as used on Stack Exchange sites (in addition to a URL slug), and /unanswered/ before the title, if the question is unanswered.

;User interface

With the help of asynchronous JavaScript and XML, some site functionality resembles instant messaging, such as updating follow counts and an indicator showing that a user is typing an answer.{{cite web |title=Quora Has The Magic: BenchMark Invests at $86 Million Valuation {{!}} Hacker News |url=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1225890 |website=news.ycombinator.com |date=2010-03-29 |access-date=November 15, 2020 |archive-date=December 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225083017/https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1225890 |url-status=live }}

Prior to April 19, 2021, Quora required users to register with the complete form of their real names rather than a pseudonym or other screen name;{{cite web|url=https://www.quora.com/about/tos|title=Quora Terms of Service|access-date=February 15, 2017|archive-date=February 20, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230220044526/https://www.quora.com/about/tos|url-status=live}} although verification of names was not required, false names could be reported by the community.

In November 2012, Quora introduced the Top Writers Program as a way to recognize individuals who had made especially valuable content contributions to the site and encourage them to continue. About 150 writers were chosen each year. Top writers were invited to occasional exclusive events and received gifts such as branded clothing items and books. The company believed that by cultivating a group of core users who were particularly invested in the site, a positive feedback loop of user engagement would be created.{{cite news|title=Quora Introduces Top Writers, Drives Attention – and rewards – to its Most Influential Users|last=Bea|first=Francis|date=October 30, 2012|publisher=Digital Trends|url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/quora-introduces-top-writers/|access-date=May 5, 2016|archive-date=July 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180704063456/https://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/quora-introduces-top-writers/|url-status=live}}

The inconsistency of Quora moderation has been blamed for the proliferation of harmful prejudices on the website. In 2014, in addition to being privately harassed, female users noted a ubiquity of pointed, sexist questions about women with more clearly sexist question details, whereas the same kinds of questions rephrased to be about men were quickly taken down. One user was the subject of a sexually defamatory post containing a photo of her that was taken down by moderation only after the incident was publicized online.{{cite news|last=Blue|first=Violet|date=22 June 2014|title=Quora's misogyny problem: A cautionary tale|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/quoras-misogyny-problem-a-cautionary-tale/|work=ZDNet|access-date=21 November 2021|archive-date=November 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122032202/https://www.zdnet.com/article/quoras-misogyny-problem-a-cautionary-tale/|url-status=live}} There has also been an increase of antisemitism on the website, as exemplified by a community for Holocaust denial and the presence of countless troll questions containing the numbers 14 and 88 in various contexts, which are almost never removed by the ineffective moderators.{{cite news|last=Wrobel|first=Sharon|date=27 August 2021|title=Quora Writers Say 'Unchecked Jew-Hatred,' Holocaust Denial Persist on Popular Q&A Site|url=https://www.algemeiner.com/2021/08/27/quora-writers-say-unchecked-jew-hatred-holocaust-denial-persist-on-popular-qa-site/|work=The Algemeiner|access-date=21 November 2021|archive-date=November 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122032212/https://www.algemeiner.com/2021/08/27/quora-writers-say-unchecked-jew-hatred-holocaust-denial-persist-on-popular-qa-site/|url-status=live}}

Reviewing the website in 2024, Jacob Stern, writing in The Atlantic, was negative, stating that "A large number of the questions are junk. Many are not really questions at all; they’re provocations. On those occasions when users do seem to be in search of useful answers, the ones they receive are, to put it mildly, uneven. Whatever scant kernels of quality exist on the site are tough to sift from the mountains of inanity—at least in part because Quora tends to place the inane front and center". Stern said that in order to become profitable Quora had bloated the site with advertising and had encouraged the posting of provocative and clickbait questions, which while likely boosting engagement, drove away the participation of high-quality contributors, leaving the website in what Stern called a "state of thriving failure".{{Cite web |last=Stern |first=Jacob |date=2024-01-09 |title=If There Are No Stupid Questions, Then How Do You Explain Quora? |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/01/quora-tragedy-answer-websites/677062/ |access-date=2024-02-12 |website=The Atlantic |language=en}} These criticisms were echoed by Nitish Pahwa writing in Slate.{{Cite news |last=Pahwa |first=Nitish |date=2024-02-02 |title=How Quora Died |url=https://slate.com/technology/2024/02/quora-what-happened-ai-decline.html |access-date=2024-02-12 |work=Slate |language=en-US |issn=1091-2339}}
