The Nuxt template supports both registered accounts and guest sessions. The goal is to reduce friction before a user commits to sign-up.
Registered account flow
- Public entry:
/auth/loginand/auth/register - Supported modes: email, verification code, Google, GitHub
- Post-login destination:
/dashboard
Registered users should land on the activation-oriented dashboard homepage and continue from there into AI, keys, billing, or support.
Guest flow
- Public entry:
/guest-demo - Guest sessions are real authenticated sessions with their own credits and dashboard access
- Guests should be encouraged to upgrade after they validate the workflow
Upgrade guidance
Guest mode is ideal for:
- early product demos
- marketing traffic that is not ready to sign up
- sales conversations where you want a lower-friction proof point
Registered mode is ideal for:
- persistent usage
- billing and subscriptions
- API key management
- long-term project ownership
Product recommendation
Do not treat guest mode as a dead-end sandbox. It should behave like a guided first session that naturally leads into account creation once the user sees value.
