django-guest-user
A reusable Django app that allows site visitors to interact with your project as if they were registered users without having to sign up first.
Anonymous visitors who request a decorated page get a real temporary user object assigned and are logged in automatically.
By allowing these guests to use all features of your page, the barrier to entry is lowered and conversion rates for new users can increase. Visitors will be more invested in your service and more likely to convert if they already made progress and created content using your application.
Converting to a permanent user takes very few clicks and allows visitors to save their progress and don’t risk to lose it once the guest users are cleaned up.
This project was largely inspired by django-lazysignup and rewritten for modern Django and Python versions.
