Areas to explore:
- Developer UX of creating a new application from available language templates
- TF token response & lack of error handling
- TFC signup flow for new user (evaluate current state vs. ideal)

We did some work on this last summer before Sarah left. While it wasn't complete, we have no immediate plans to pick this work back up again, so I'm going to close this issue for now. We can always open a new issue when/if we plan a new initiative in this area.
I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 30 days. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues. If you've found a problem that seems similar to this, please open a new issue and complete the issue template so we can capture all the details necessary to investigate further.
