Subsequent logins should make it easier for a user to continue editing draft/existing guides; as well as create new ones

  1. Have an account
  2. Sign in again after a few weeks or from a different machine

Expected:

  • I can see 'my' guides etc - maybe the user profile view (https://openfarm.cc/en/users/57d6ac74becf8a0003000054)

Actual:

  • I am still on the login UI
  • I get a success message, but it obscures other content
  • The app encourages me to create a new guide; it's not clear how I can 'finish' editing a previous guide or otherwise update some of my garden details

@CloCkWeRX Interesting. So are you proposing bringing the user to their profile when they log in?

Perhaps - or after login, the menu should give more obvious access to 'my' stuff, ie: my gardens, my guides, etc. Those happen to live on the profile page right now, even if there were multiple links that were aliases for my profile; that would make sense.

I can see the value of "login redirect to referrer" for other areas though.

There is a redirect to referrer functionality in place, but I'm not sure it works all the time. I think it rides on some functionality provided by Devise, but I'd have to double check.
