Extensions for Joomla! 5.x • Ability to use a different default home page when users logged in - like Nomad

Is there any component that is compatible with Joomla5x that does the same job as:

https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/nomad-pro/

The developers stopped updating it at Joomla 3 unfortunately.

This basically allows us to make another page in our website the home page when a user is logged in. Users are frustrated that if the close their browser then come back to it, even though they are logged in, it defaults to open the main home page.

Currently we have a redirect after login, so that bit is fine.

Nomad allowed you to swap the http://www.mysite.com for one of your choice (in our case: http://www.mysite.com/dashboard) whilst a user is logged in.

So if they closed the browser without clearing it, then reopened it (and the session was still live) it would automatically open http://www.mysite.com/dashboard and not the normal homepage.

I wish this was a built in option within Joomla, it makes no sense to have to have the default home page when logged in.

The Nomad plugin is just a single PHP file so if there isn't a solution, would it be feasible to have this plugin replicated to work for Joomla 5? I have attached itRegards
