We'll provision a sandbox, run an agent against the issue, and open a draft PR. You can pull the branch and iterate from there.

Summary

There is currently no in-app Help or documentation affordance in the WebUI. New users have nowhere to click to find docs, and users hitting a problem have no obvious path to report it. Today the only docs link anywhere in the UI is a single deep link to docs/docker.md buried in one panel.

Suggested by u/Right_Fun_4902 in the r/hermesagent "Best webUI for Hermes?" thread (2026-05-30):

'help' to link to your website and documentation

Scope (this issue — the lightweight half only)

Add a small Help entry that links out to existing web resources. No backend, no diagnostics collection, no in-app submission.

Two links:

  1. Documentation → the project docs (e.g. https://get-hermes.ai/ / the docs site + the nesquena/hermes-webui README).
  2. "Having an issue?" → a short line that points users to the repo's GitHub issues page (https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui/issues) to search existing reports or open a new one.

This deliberately keeps bug reporting as a plain outbound link to GitHub issues — no auto-collected diagnostics, no hosted intake endpoint, no PII leaving the box. (The heavier "grab diagnostics + auto-submit on approval" idea from the same Reddit comment is intentionally out of scope — it doesn't fit WebUI's thin-client ethos and raises PII/spam concerns.)

Suggested placement

A "Help" item in the nav rail (or a section in Settings → System, next to the version badges at static/index.html ~L1251). Settings → System is a natural home since it already shows WebUI/Agent versions and "Check for updates", so "Docs" + "Report an issue" links sit well alongside.

Notes

  • Pure outbound links — trivial, low-risk, additive.
  • All link text should use data-i18n keys for locale parity (the codebase requires translated keys across all 9 locales).
