That's not entirely true. There can and probably would
be problems when nobody's logged in;
That's precisely the problem. A tool that requires a user to
be logged in? Limited use at best. A web server that
requires a user to be logged in? You must be kidding.
Well, my MetaAd demo runs just fine without anyone logged in. This is a
WO5 app that uses AppKit for text-flow/rendering and CoreGraphics/AppKit
for rendering and generating preview JPEG images, apart from lots of
other totally amazing technology.... ;-)
It wasn't completely trivial to set up, but also not impossible.
The Demo can be reached from
