Right now, there's an issue with new users who, at first, don't have a nost signing extension installed on their browser, so clicking clicking 'login' and having the nostr-login popup appear wouldn't show the signer button to login, so they go ahead and install an extension after that, but if they go back to the same page and hit 'login', the same popup would appear and still doesn't show the button to trigger the extension for proper login. When they refresh the page, it works fine then.

I'm wondering if we can have the site auto-list/detect if there is a signer? so that if it does detect it, the site would auto refresh (or a popup would be triggered to tell the user 'extension detected. Please refresh the page' with a [Refresh] button.

Thoughts?

This issue is causing some people to be confused and resulting in them to leave, or go elsewhere to find a solution as to why they can't login, and even going to a nostr website to make an account there thinking that's the solution.

If this isn't possible, i'm thinking of having a multi-step registration process to guide people how to do so (next/back buttons, and so on).
