#13What is the real problem here, in my opinion, is that the home pages of the apps are not even slightly focused on existing customers. Login buttons are small and hidden, or there’s even no login button at all (you need to go to sign-up and then use ‘I already have an account’ option).
I know that every app needs to grow, but already paying customers are also visiting your homepage. Don’t make them feel like they don’t matter to you.

#14This allows existing users to just enter the domain and get to the app, but also to browse the marketing site if they want.

#15I personally totally hate that idea. I hate it when I can’t open main page for the product to check on pricing, watch for new features or just show it to someone else. I just get redirected to the app and need to find a hacky way to go back. What is the real problem here, in my opinion, is that the home pages of the apps are not even slightly focused on existing customers. Login buttons are small and hidden, or there…
Really hate the fact that I can't view their pricing page while logged in.
If I want to go directly to the dashboard/console page, I'll just type for example "console." then the browser auto-complete will do the rest.

#16I've found a compromise to work well. Redirect all visitors from '/' but show all other pages as usual on the marketing site. Also, if someone has navigated to '/' from another page, don't redirect either. This allows existing users to just enter the domain and get to the app, but also to browse the marketing site if they want.

I second this. Really hate the fact that I can't view their pricing page while logged in. If I want to go directly to the dashboard/console page, I'll just type for example "console." then the browser auto-complete will do the rest.

I'm looking into similar approach but unsure what's best.
