It relies on [`next-iron-session`](https://github.com/vvo/next-iron-session). It uses current best practices as for authentication in the Next.js ecosystem: 1. no `getInitialProps` to ensure every page is static 2. `useUser` hook together with [`swr`](https://swr.now.sh/) for data fetching Features: - Logged in status synchronized between browser windows/tabs - Layout based on logged in status - All pages are static - Session data is signed and encrypted in a cookie		2020-04-07 10:47:00 -04:00
