I just tried creating a new account; clicked the “authorize through GitHub” button and then authorized. The result is a page indistinguishable from the original signup page, except that the url has had “loggedin” appended. Clicked several more times before I realized what was happening, and ended up with this url: [https://beta.observablehq.com/loggedin/loggedin/loggedin/loggedin/](https://beta.observablehq.com/loggedin/loggedin/loggedin/loggedin/)

It wasn’t until I closed the window and went back to [beta.observablehq.com](http://beta.observablehq.com) that I saw myself properly logged in.

Using macOS 10.13.4 Beta (17E190a); Safari Version 11.1 (13605.1.33.1.2).

Thanks - we’re digging into the potential cause of this one. I can see it replicating on Safari & Mobile Safari, so it’s a question of how their handling of redirects is likely different than the rest.

I’m getting the same bug, but with no login persisting after manually navigating [beta.observablehq.com](http://beta.observablehq.com). This is also in safari 11.1. Chrome works fine however.
