Where is the "home" button

[kelson42]

I'm missing the "Home" button which brings me to the welcome page of a ZIM. It seems to be absent from the design too! @schoenbaechler What that on purpose?

@mgautierfr @schoenbaechler Any clue?

Hi @kelson42, this was done on purpose. Those were my considerations:

1. It has been aligned with recent development of web browsers, where the Home button is disappearing from the interface. In short: the address bar (search) at the top is the new home.

2. From the ZIM files I looked at, I assessed that the homepage doesn’t add a lot of value. I thought of it more of as a welcome page, that could be pinned when users would have the need to access it.

3. Most of the homepages of the ZIM files haven’t been maintained very well. I think it makes sense to point users to this page if it’s carefully curated. I mentioned this in one of our earlier calls and remember Stéphane coming up with “Netflix“ as an example.

Thanks!
