Cannot back to Elk when not signed to Mastodon

Cannot back to Elk when not signed to Mastodon. It will redirect to original Mastodon server.

For example, initially, I didn't sign in to m.webtoo.ls, and Elk will redirect me to webtools website and required my email and password. After signing in, it will redirect to m.webtoo.ls website instead of backing to Elk app.

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?

[danielroe]

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 🤔
