It is fairly simple code, so I'm not sure this is a problem that needs a productized solution.
I 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…
Target the people who use Wordpress for marketing, but otherwise have an app. They might pay $5 for this, especially if they are separate business silos. As long as it is super simple to use, this could be a decent non-technical solution to a technical problem. The challenge is once someone technical is called in, they will realize that this is trivial, so making it possible for non-technicals to easily use (even if…
I’ve wanted this for so long. We proxy our static marketing site just so we can check headers for auth and redirect you to the dashboard if you’re signed in.

This is useful as a reminder to make it easier for existing users to find your app. Also, the marketing site being outside of reach of the app dev team is a real problem worth addressing with convenient snippets such as the linked solution. That said, I'm still not convinced that an automatic redirect is a good idea. I've had cases where I would like to refer someone to e.g. the pricing page (or a page I remember abo…
I don't understand why you can't type the address of the page you want to go to, or click a link to get there (or provide a link if you're the website owner)? It looks like you're forcing people to go to a page other than the one you select, but that would be really crap, so it can't be that ... so what are you doing? Makes no sense to me, but then I hate websites that want me to install a wrapper around a web render…
