Link to keyboards

Closed this issue · 4 comments

This tool can lead to discover new keyboards. It'll be great to be able to go to the description of a keyboard directly from the interface.

I can do it if you're interested.

I've put links to the keyboards in the README, but putting them in the app itself might be a good idea if we can do it in a clean way. Right now clicking on the name selects it in the image overlay, which I think is pretty intuitive, and I'd like to keep it that way.

One simple change could be to replace the GitHub logo to a word or phrase like "learn more" so they link to the README file.

Maybe a little icon like on wikipedia for external link, just after the name of the board? That can be pretty clean and pretty usual for user.
What do you think?

That's maybe possible. The labels for each check box are set by the label argument in each prettyCheckbox. I define the label content in the keyboards data frame inside the config.R file. You would have to create another column that has the html code to create the external link and them put that into the label somehow.

I've made a lot of changes to the UI of the app. To try and incorporate this suggestion, I added an "About" page which has a list of supported keyboards with links to each.
