There is no way to reach stemdeck.app from the app #676

Closed

Description

@thcp

The logo sits in the top left corner and does nothing. The site is reachable from the About panel and nowhere else, which is the one place someone who is already lost will not think to look.

A logo in the corner is the conventional way back to a project's own page, and people try it.

Constraints for whoever adds it

The desktop case is the one that can go wrong quietly. There is no second tab inside the Tauri webview, so a plain target="_blank" navigates the app's own window away from StemDeck and leaves the user in a web page with no back button. main.js already intercepts a[target="_blank"] and hands the URL to the shell through open_url, so the logo needs to be reached by that path rather than by a click handler of its own.

That also means a browser-only test proves nothing here: in a browser the attribute is the whole implementation and there is nothing left to get wrong.

The logo has no text, so whatever labels it is the only label it has. A hardcoded English tooltip would make it the one control in the bar that ignores the language setting.
