Cannot back to Elk when not signed to Mastodon about elk-native HOT 5 CLOSED

I noticed the same thing (actually links have the same issue rn too I think)
@danielroe can we open the mastodon login page within an iframe instead of the main context? or does that not work for oauth reasons?

No, I don't think an iframe should work. And it really shouldn't do this. 🤔

Might need some investigation to see why this differs from the web app.

Hmm alright too bad, the broader issue here is that in the setting of a native app, the user doesn't have any navigation controls (so no back and forth buttons) to abort a mastodon login which is kinda unfortunate. If we could use an iframe (or indeed the users default browser maybe?) we could still retain that control over navigation.

Edit: Using the systems default browser might be blocked by missing deep link support in tauri rn

It might be possible to make the iframe thing work with a special route in elk 🤔

Hey! Just letting you know that elk-native is no longer maintained, much of the team has moved on or is busy with other projects (there's only so much time in a day 😅), so this issue will likely not be fixed.
Please use the actively maintained elk PWA instead.

Thanks so much for your support and understanding so far! ❤️
