Maybe someone got an idea for this or has already done something like this:

I am creating a public app, I would like to leave it without having to login via email, but I would like to give the possibility to create user profiles. Users with profiles (potentially paying a fee for that) would get the ability to publish new items.

Is something like that possible? I get stuck with the edit button already: If there is no user role to chose from, how could only specific people get access to certain features?

You can change the option to public with email, assign a user profiles sheet, then revert back to public.

You could add a sign in button while keeping the app public. Once a user signs in with the button, their email will populate in the user profiles sheet and app logins sheet.you can then use this for your visibility conditions.  
I do this with [https://no-script.in/](https://no-script.in/)

My paid members have access to the course when they login while the app is public.

Sign in Button!!! Thanks @Manan_Mehta, I think this is what I was looking for 🙂

Your app is awesome!! Did you customize all that with CSS/HTML or did you embed external (parts of) websites?

Yes. But even in this case, users can login in the burger menu. If using favorites or chat etc will prompt the user to log in.

Thanks @Alexdz  
It’s all either CSS or certain images which are placed in a way that they blend with the background.
