Request for Public Route Support - Landing Pages Cannot Display to Logged-Out Users

Hello Base44 Team,

I'm experiencing a critical limitation with the current authentication system that prevents creating proper public-facing pages for my LuxBoston Concierge app.

The Problem: Currently, the entire app is wrapped in authentication middleware. When users are logged out, they're always redirected to the generic platform login page, making it impossible to display custom landing pages, "Apply for Membership" forms, or any other public content to visitors.

Current Behavior:

• Logged-out user visits app → sees generic white Base44 login page

• Cannot display custom branding, landing pages, or membership application forms

• All marketing/public content is blocked by authentication

Suggested Implementation:

• Allow developers to designate certain pages as "public"

• Only apply authentication middleware to "protected" routes

• Public routes should render without any login requirements

• Keep current authentication system for protected content

Business Impact: This limitation prevents apps from having proper marketing funnels, membership applications, and professional public-facing presence. It forces all visitors to see generic platform branding instead of custom app branding.

Current Workaround Attempts: I've tried handling this in the Layout component, but the platform's authentication system always overrides custom landing pages.

This feature would greatly enhance Base44's capability for business applications that need both public marketing pages and private member areas.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
