No link to go back to homepage
Describe the Issue
After I was on freeCodeCamp for a while, there was something I wanted to check on the homepage, which is: https://www.freecodecamp.org, and I noticed that there was no way to get back to that page. The “freeCodeCamp” graphic link at the top takes you to https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn. There are also no links at the upper right menu or on the bottom of the web page that will take you to https://www.freecodecamp.org. What I had to do was hit the back arrow many times until it took me back to https://www.freecodecamp.org. I would suggest that the “freeCodeCamp” graphic link at the top of the page take you to https://www.freecodecamp.org and not https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn, since there is already a link to that in the upper right menu.
Affected Page
https://www.freecodecamp.org
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to https://www.freecodecamp.org
- Click on any of the links that take you to a different page.
- Try to get back to https://www.freecodecamp.org without using the back arrow.
Expected behavior
There should be a link that takes the user back to https://www.freecodecamp.org when they are not on that page.

Hi there! I have also experienced this same situation and thought of the same improvement - it makes logical sense for the title graphic to re-direct to "https://www.freecodecamp.org/" as compared to "https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn".
If the owners are happy with change, I can help to work on it :)
Thank you for reporting this, but this behavior is a conscious design choice. Our analytics tell us that people prefer using the learn map more than the landing page – which is optimized for first time visitors.
You are able to type in the URL: www.freecodecamp.org in your address bar to land on the homepage should you be "interested" in seeing the landing page.
We appreciate your feedback, happy coding.
