GitLab does it so that if you're not logged in, you get bounced from gitlab.com to about.gitlab.com but when you're signed in, you can access the app from gitlab.com without the need for any subdomain name for say app.gitlab.com or the like

This is super confusing.

  I think it’s pretty great. You go there and get bounced over to a marketing website. Once you’re logged in, you skip the marketing page entirely.

    What if I want to visit the marketing page while being logged in?

      I imagine most of their search traffic will take you to about.gitlab.com

What does that achieve compared to bouncing users to gitlab.com/about?
