Show step-by-step feedback during authentication #54

Closed keithjgrant closed 6 years ago

keithjgrant commented 6 years ago

After authenticating, the authorization endpoint redirects to omnibear.com. Very minimal feedback is given on this page while the token is fetched (and soon, syndication targets as well).

Improve the feedback on this page to show step by step what is happening, and, if something goes wrong, where it stalls.

I just had this problem. I set up selfauth for my authorization endpoint, while still using tokens.indieauth.com/token as my token endpoint. Authentication worked fine; but getting the token failed. Omnibear showed me that it was unable to obtain a token, and then closed the tab before I could read the whole message. After several tries, I was able to get a screenshot, not that it helps much:

omnibear-error

This has been added with the new logging feature. I'll write up a how-to on omnibear.com soon.
