Developers - please add a link to your manual.

I know you already put a link into the plugin.json that goes directly to the manual. Why not add one that module users can access also? It is close to zero effort, and eliminates at least one click, and possibly more, for people who want to see the documentation.

Good idea. Plugin docs are written in different styles so it can sometimes take a little to track down the specific module information. How about naming the entry “Module manual” so it’s consistent across all modules? The name of the module is at the top of the menu anyway.

This will be automatically done in Rack v2, so although it’s a good idea, I’m not going to make this change and I’ll wait for v2.

isn’t that what the existing entry in the Plugin menu says? It’s a decent idea, though. On the other hand I don’t know if there’s really a downside to being more specific and less consistent?

That’s what people have been saying for the last 2 years :wink: I think I’ve been talking it up since I did it in Feb of 2019.
