After signing up I should be redirected to chat

Right now, by design, after signing up I'm stuck in idm.lg and need to re-enter the chat.lg url to get to the main product.

If I started signing up at chat.lg I should get redirected there after signing up.

Yep. Definite room for a UX improvement here. The flow is awkward.

Looked into this a bit today ... this is actually not a super easy / quick fix, because:

right now, the IDM service doesn't have any notion of a "session", just some appState variables that get passed-through the OAuth flow on GitHub
GitHub redirects back to us after authenticating, but at that point in the flow, we need the redirect URL to be the /sign-up route again (so that the user can complete the user form)

We probably need another signupRedirect URL parameter or something for once the user form has been completed and saved successfully. But this, unfortunately, is not a 10 minute fix. :-(

@prattsj -- this could be a good place to start improving the sign-up flow
