The About page already has a hyperlink to the p5.js homepage, and since we're already in the web editor, it might not be necessary to add that link again. The current reference seems enough for most users.

We were hoping to add these links so users can be directed to the release pages of the p5.js library and p5.js editor! It seems like the version number is missing for the p5.js library as well, so that may potentially be another linked issue here.

Hi @raclim

If nobody has taken this up yet, I would love to work on this issue.

@Nwakaego-Ego Feel free to give it a go! :)

Hi @raclim

I am sorry for the delay. This is my first issue, and I spent the entire day getting the p5.js repository set up locally. It was a bit of a journey, reading through docs and downloads, but i was able to get it started on my PC.

I have implemented the fix as seen below

However, I noticed that the "About" page on http://localhost:8000/ looks different from the one in the codebase, which made testing a bit tricky.

I believe the changes are in place, but I would really appreciate your guidance. I am not sure why the About section on my local server at port 8000 looks different.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you

@Nwakaego-Ego , it looks like you set up the p5.js website instead of the p5.js Web Editor. You need to set up https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor locally to work on this issue.

Hi @yugalkaushik

Thank you for the heads-up. I actually cloned the p5.js-web-editor repo (see screenshot below). If there’s something I am missing setup-wise, I would really appreciate your guidance.

Thanks for confirming you cloned the p5.js-web-editor repo.
I'm actually not sure what might be going wrong just from this as the screenshot you shared earlier looks from p5.js website. Maybe @raclim could take a look and help troubleshoot the setup?
