next-sign-in-in-place

This is a demo that uses Next.js's experimental unauthorized() API to implement a sign-in in place flow.

See it in action at https://next-sign-in-in-place.vercel.app/.

Currently, there are shortcomings with this approach:

• It relies on the HTTP referer header (which generally isn't reliable) to determine the URL of the original page.
• It performs a redirect to refresh the original page, causing a flash of white.

However, if Next.js were to provide a server-side refresh() function to trigger a client-side refresh, it could potentially eliminate these problems.
