The flatpak UI does not tell you where to find your client ID as part of on-boarding

[eriknelson]

OS: Arch Linux
DE: i3
Install: Flatpak org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare 3.28.0

What happened:

I honestly may have just missed this, but while kicking the tires on SparkleShare for the first time, I installed the flatpak and ran it from the cli. I was promped for my server's details, and of course it failed to connect. I realized I needed to "link" my client with my host via dazzle.sh link, and it asked for my "client ID". I honestly had no idea what his was until I realized through the client's stdout that it was in the applet, and it was a simple ssh pubkey.

What I expected to happen:

I would expect to see this as part of the onboarding wizard and not hidden in the applet.

This happens when:

Install new flatpak installation and try to connect to a self-hosted sparkleshare host.

It should be on the last page of the onboarding wizard? Maybe I changed it, I don't remember. :)

I'll update with some screenshots when I get a sec so I can show what I'm seeing.

Here's the onboarding experience starting fresh with the flatpak on my Fedora 32 machine, I have an Rpi acting as a sparkshare host that was set up with dazzle:

It's not until this 3rd step I realize, oh I didn't even realize I needed to add a client ID...where do I get a client ID?

I think I read somewhere in the logs of the terminal output that it was in the tray icon, but it's not called out at any point during that onboarding.

Thanks for the screenshots. I remember now! I've made some changes to the flow because I wanted to automatically upload the key for known services, and the Own Server page would show your SSH key. I think this was only partly implemented and the rest is still in a branch...
