Link the Store listing from the download page - #56
Merged
Conversation
0.9.5 completed certification and is published, so apps.microsoft.com/detail /9NN5N0L2TMTF resolves. It joins the alternates under the download button rather than the button itself: Store availability is uneven on managed corporate machines, which is why the MSI stays the primary channel (decision 10). The label says what the Store route gives you that the MSI does not - the Store updates the app, and a Store install never makes the daily version check, which privacy.html already describes. The row wraps to two lines on desktop now. Any fourth entry does, including a bare 'Microsoft Store', so the informative label costs nothing. STORE-LISTING.md no longer says the addresses 404 and that nothing links to them; both stopped being true today. It records the ms-windows-store: form as deliberately unlinked, since it fails silently in a browser with no Store app.

Where the link goes, and why not higher
It joins the alternates under the download button, not the button itself. Store availability
is uneven on managed corporate machines, which is why the MSI stays the primary channel
(decision 10) — the same reasoning
STORE-LISTING.mdrecorded in advance for this moment.The label says what the Store route offers that the MSI does not: the Store updates the app,
and a Store install never makes the daily version check that
privacy.htmldescribes.One layout note
The alternates row wraps to two lines on desktop now. Measured in a browser: any fourth
entry wraps it, including a bare "Microsoft Store", so the informative label costs nothing
over a terse one. On mobile the row already stacks into a column; it becomes four rows
instead of three, with no horizontal overflow at 375px.
Documentation
STORE-LISTING.mdsaid both Store addresses 404 and that nothing links to them. Bothstopped being true today. It now records that the
ms-windows-store:form is deliberatelynot linked from the site, since it fails silently in a browser with no Store app to hand
it to — worth stating so the next reader does not add it as an improvement.
