Show IH: In-app browser redirects for password-protected Carrd sites

⭐️ NEW Carrd plugin template for in-app browser redirects

In-app browsers for some apps (like Instagram) have strict policy where they actively block popups like alert boxes. This means the password protect feature for Carrd sites won't work when on in-app browsers on Instagram.

This redirect plugin is a workaround for that - if it detects an in-app browser, it will show a message to ask users to open the window in an external browser app. Once there it will automatically redirect the user to the password-protected Carrd site. Other users using normal browsers (on desktop/mobile) will not see the message and be auto-redirected your site to login.

⤴️ in-app-redirect.carrd.co (https://in-app-redirect.carrd.co/?ih)

See the demo on our Instagram page - click on the in-app-redirect-demo.carrd.co link in bio - it will redirect to a password-protected Carrd site.
