How do we want our backup site to link back to github?

Cleop commented 6 years ago

We know how users will get to our backup site from github (see #14) but I was wondering:

Do we want/ how do we want our content to link back to the github main site?

Thoughts:

We may not want people to return to github at all because we want them to navigate around our site
We may want to offer them links back to github whilst we're at MVP stage and can't allow them to navigate their issues/comments using our platform alone (but we could remove these links later)
Once we implement #14 we may choose to open our site in a new tab so that people can easily cross reference the issue and flow of conversation on it with our backup history (although new tabs are not good practice for accessibility).

What do others think? @SimonLab @nelsonic

@Cleop thanks for opening this question! (it's a good one to discuss) For MVP we probably don't need to worry about helping people to navigate back to GitHub as they will likely just use their browser "back button". However as a future enhancement we could get user feedback on what the most intuitive way to navigate is.

Closing as this requires no immediate action and any further development on this will be prompted by user feedback.
