[Feature Request]: New User Experience
Description
It can be very overwhelming to load up the web console the first time if you've not used a phone app to setup the device before hand. If a "factory new" device is connected, prompt the user for the bare minimum settings required to get their radio working.
- [ ] Prompt the user for bare minimum configuration settings
- [ ] Only prompt if the device has not been configured ("factory new")
- [ ] Only prompt the user one time (how will we remember this?)
- [ ] Allow user to skip this prompt entirely and go directly to web app
- [ ] Region setting included in prompt
- [ ] Device short name setting included in prompt
- [ ] Device long name setting included in prompt
- [ ] Prompt to download PKI keys (see #281)
Might be nice to have a group brainstorming session on this involving devs from the web + iOS + Android dev teams.
Having a consistent user experience for onboarding and setup would make it easier for friends to help each-other get started.
@Hunter275 Any chance we can get this back on track? The last comment on this issue is from Sept 13th, and I think this is valuable piece of the Meshtastic app puzzle we're missing currently. @powersjcb

This does need added!
I'm going to focus on getting the long lived PRs reviewed so I won't be of much use, but feel free to get started on this yourself.
@fifieldt (I tagged you on purpose this time) Do you have any advice on how to go about finding a active IOS & Android contributor dev, I'd love to have all of us in a Discord voice channel to discuss what this might look like so we can come up with something that looks unified
