Libki Client has the option to display a "Login as Guest" button right on the login screen, which creates and logins in a new guest account. Would it make sense to add the same feature to the public web portal?
The primary benefit I can see is that right now, guests who need to print something from their mobile device do not have a clear, simple path to do so. With this option, they'd be able to visit Libki and with a few quick taps, upload their job for printing, without having to obtain and enter a username/password.
If used in combination with gratis printing and auto-print release, this could lead to abuse (a user could essentially make unlimited guest accounts, getting unlimited free pages), but this risk exists with the Client version of this feature, and can be mitigated by configuration choices.
If automatic PDF conversion is configured, this would allow anyone to access that service free... possibly a drain on server resources?
