Make the open website button link to the deployed version

Describe your feature request
Now that deployments are released :tada: I think it would be a good idea to make the open website button link to the deployed version of the website

What problem(s) would this feature solve?
This would give users the deployed version instead of the development version

Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this feature request

I think that it should stay the development site. Since you should be able to see what you just developed in the full website before you deploy it to everybody

You can just do CTRL+SHIFT+P and click open development url

Are you talking about the WebView in the workspace or cover pages?

In the workspace, it would make sense to show the dev URL on repl.co but in cover pages it should be the last deployment (if there is one).

The open website button should only link to a deployment if there is one, it should not force users to deploy a repl for the cover page to work.

Uh that’s what Luis said

But I’m guessing he edited it after your reply

Are you referring to the “open link” in the editor? Or on the cover page? Might make sense on the cover page if so!

Cover page. also @9pfs1 thank you for stating that, that is what I meant
