**Why this plugin?**

The default option in discourse to force signin users is to completely hide the content behind, and show text to signin users.

If you want something like Quora, where users will be shown login modal, you can use force-signin plugin.  
This plugin will show signin modal if the user is not signed in.

**Options available are**

- Force signin in home page
- Force signin in topics page
- Allow user to close signin modal

U can download the plugin from here

I will be adding more features to this plugin. Some things that are in my mind are

- Allow customizing text in login modal

Suggestions and comments are welcome !!
