Description

Might be valuable to have a broader discussion about whether it's worthwhile centralizing the desktop docs and/or expanding the existing User Manual to incorporate more coverage of the mobile clients. Particularly:

  • what, if anything, would be helpful for Android client users (#1583)
  • what, if anything, would be helpful for iOS client users (e.g. #8143)
  • what, if anything, would be helpful for desktop client users
  • is the existing desktop client documentation something that should be integrated?

Also related: the desktop client manual currently has a completely different look than the docs in this repository. Whether integrated or not, a better user experience would come from using the same theme/settings IMO.[done]

Research direction

Review the existing User Manual and the linked Android and iOS issues (#1583 and #8143) first. The issue does not name files or a settled scope; done would require agreeing what mobile users need and deciding which coverage belongs in the manual.
