[UX] Tab "Assets", "Contribute" and "Learn" should open page in new window

[michaldev]

These tabs opens new website in current window. This is non-ux, because navigation is different between websites. In my opinion, these tabs should have icon like below:

and target="_blank" parameter in link.

Users can choose whether they want to open a link in a new tab or not. Taking that choice from them is not a good option.

Taking away the ability to use unified navigation for users is also not a good solution.

There is always a back button, and these sites are within the same ecosystem. Again, opening links in new tabs is a part of standard browser experience. Users have learnt this over the last dozen years, and use it daily.

IMO: They are not in the same page. Only the server/domain is shared. The ecosystem for the user is the consistency of site navigation (and eg. accounts, ui components etc.). In terms of UX, the user is not interested in whether his browser communicates through one server or another.

If not opening in a new window, maybe it's worth adding this icon. The user will at least know it's a different page and will lose their navigation when they click.

It's currently unclear if when I click on a tab I stay on godot's info page or it takes me to another page.

Another option is to create an additional menu above the menu of the current page. Then you can share this global menu between the ecosystem on each godot page. Something like this ("Community", "Ask" etc. are different websites):
