Couchapp with partial reader access

Question

It would be very elegant to run a full couchapp on Cloudant, but is seems there is no way of creating a public login page while the rest of the database requires authentication.

Can I serve public pages without opening the entire database?

Thanks, Mikkel

I'd think that would be a very expensive way to host a web site (compared to other options). https://cloudant.com/for-developers/faq/auth/ — WiredPrairie, Aug 12 '13 at 20:50
@WiredPrairie there is a trade-off, avoiding CORS (cross-domain) with CouchDB replication to cut the amount of hits needed by having the app in the same domain context. — MrYellow, Dec 04 '14 at 00:40

The solution for CouchDB (see question How does a user login to a couchapp that has a reader role defined?) should also work in Cloudant.
