Ask HN: Is creating an OAuth app frustrating, time-consuming, and shit?

At Poozle (https://github.com/poozlehq/engine), I have created over 40+ OAuth apps and have dreaded every time we had to build them. Everything with Oauth is shit! You have to fill out numerous application details and finding the right scopes is a nightmare. Once you submit an application, there is often too much back-and-forth before the app is finally approved.

Possible Solution: I am considering to build an AI-powered browser extension for myself that automates the Oauth process with the following features:

1. Auto-Fill: Pre-fills 80% of the information required to create your app.

2. Scopes: Suggests scopes based on your use case and helps you understand them better.

Let me know your thoughts in comments, let me know if you folks want to try it out, I will reach out to you.(https://forms.gle/cgsyEpTG5M9BhAHE6).
