Description

Currently, all users land on the Landing Page by default, regardless of whether they are logged in or not.

To improve user experience:

• Logged-in users should be taken directly to the Home Page (where they can immediately create/join a room with their details pre-filled).
• New or logged-out users should be shown the Landing Page, which includes:
  • Smooth animated background blobs.
  • Login button.
  • Explanation of what Guessync is and how to get started.

This ensures a seamless experience for returning players, while still giving new users an introduction to the platform.

Expected Behavior

• On site load:
  • If logged in (valid session token present):
    • Redirect to /landing.
    • Pre-fill user details (username, avatar, user ID) in the input fields.
  • If not logged in:
    • Stay on /.
    • See animations, explanation of Guessync, and login option.

Current Behavior

• All users (new or logged in) start at the **Landing Page route - "/" **.
• Returning users must click Login again to access Home.

Deliverables

• Smooth redirect behavior implemented.
• Landing Page visible only to new/logged-out users.
• Logged-in users skip Landing and go directly to Home.
• Screenrecording of a tested flow for both states (new user vs returning user).
