Implement Post-Sign-In User Flow with Profile, Leaderboard, and Start Debate UI Sections

Problem Statement

The application currently lacks a structured flow after users sign in. Without a defined landing page, users may feel lost or unsure how to proceed, which reduces engagement.

Additionally, the absence of dedicated UI sections for user profiles, leaderboards, and initiating debates prevents users from:

• Managing their personal information
• Viewing performance metrics
• Engaging in community interaction
• Starting a debate seamlessly

Proposed Solution

Develop a seamless post-sign-in experience with a dedicated landing page that includes:

Profile Section

• Displays user details
• Allows users to edit information
• Supports profile picture uploads

Leaderboard Section

• Shows a dynamic ranking of users based on activity and performance
• Provides a visually engaging and responsive UI

Start Debate Page

• Enables users to initiate a new debate directly from the landing page
• Provides a simple form for entering debate details (topic, description, etc.)
• Guides users through the debate setup process

Implementation Details

User Flow

• Implement routing using React Router to automatically redirect users after login.
• Ensure a smooth transition from sign-in to the landing page containing the Profile, Leaderboard, and Start Debate sections.

Profile UI

• Create a <Profile /> component.
• Display user details along with an editing interface.
• Include support for uploading and previewing profile pictures.

Enhancements

• Optimize performance using memoization and lazy loading where applicable.

Expected Impact

• Enhanced Navigation: A structured post-sign-in flow will improve user onboarding.
