Add link to source code repository
Problem
It would be nice to have a link from the AppCenter page to the project's source code repository. There currently is no way to locate the source code repository of a project from its AppCenter page.
Proposal
For example, in https://appcenter.elementary.io/io.elementary.calculator there could be a link to https://github.com/elementary/calculator, perhaps next to the "Download as Flatpak" button at the bottom. Maybe even replacing the "Publish on AppCenter" link, which IMO should be in a site-wide location like the header or the footer, rather than in a location that makes it seem like it's related to the particular package being viewed. Like this:
If there's agreement on this proposal, I'd be happy to contribute a PR implementing the first step, i.e. moving the "Publish on AppCenter" link to the site footer.

It sounds like there’s now a tag for this in appstream so we’ll need to update to read that tag
@danrabbit do you know what tag it is? If you can point it out I'll work it into the build process.
@RMcNeely yes! It's the url tag and the type is vcs-browser
I'll see what I can do!
hmmm I appear to have messed up pulling the latest code from here into my fork. I'll get that resolved but in the meantime its branch RMcNeely/appcenter-web/84_addverson_control_url.
