The [renkulab.io](http://renkulab.io) landing page does not have a link to public projects any more, only login options. Has anonymous browsing been deactivated on purpose? I used to advertise projects on renkulab, but now people cannot access them any more without creating a login. ---

@schymans I am not sure I understand what you mean. But I can browse private projects on [renkulab.io](http://renkulab.io) if I am not logged in. Also I can launch sessions in these projects. For example if you click the “hamburger menu” and then click “Search” you will be able to browse/search all private projects. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/renku/original/1X/f8ea4528827521aaf5625d7ed0ddca18c0187553.png) ---

@schymans , as replied by @tolevski you can access the [search page](https://renkulab.io/search) from the landing page. Does this solve your problem/issue? ---

Thanks a lot, @elisabetc and @tolevski! I don’t get it, all I could see was login page, with nothing on it. I had finally logged in using my ORCID to see what can be accessed without a dedicated account and everything worked fine. Now I logged out again, and when I go back to the page I see what you are describing. Perhaps firefox had cached some weird state of renkulab. Sorry for the noise. ---

Thank you @schymans for letting us know. I am sure we will find the problem and the solution. When you click on the search button that @tolevski, can you access the following [search page](https://renkulab.io/search) without logging in? I am not logged in and I can access, and should be the default behaviour. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/renku/original/1X/4fe6f32b05408325df3ad4e01a4f92a7ec352907.jpeg) ---

Thanks, the search works, but it is quite hidden. An icon with a link to “public projects” might be helpful. ---

Thank you @schymans for the feedback. We have work on your suggestion which was shared with other users, and the landing page of the latest release of [RenkuLab](https://renku.discourse.group/t/renkulab-update-improved-design-for-landing-page-0-36-2/909) includes the search bar as a relevant element.
