In case you didn't know, DEV is installable as a PWA in Chrome and other browsers which support it. The new Microsoft Edge even has it as a +
prompt, as such:
Functionally it works pretty well, but external links that do not have the target=_blank
attribute (which is most links on DEV), open in an awkward in-app pseudobrowser with no navigation.
How should we handle this "correctly".
Should we add target=_blank
to all outbound links? We could do this dynamically for PWA only. But is there a different "correct" way to do this?
Another desktop app, like Slack, would not open external links within the app. They would open in a browser. So that is probably the appropriate choice, but I'm not totally sure.
Thoughts?
