i know y'all are already working on this but the whole manifest system is a headache

I think it's conceptually easy but not practically easy. There are a lot of fields in there and there's no good reference. Plus signing from mobile is annoying.

Auth address signing fixes part of this (@deodad working on this now)

it is easy, and we are dumb

pretty much what @mjc716 said - I also fuck it up every time 

it probably be fixed by letting auth addresses sign it updating the dev tool to let you create it in a "cant fuck up" way instead of a  "don't fuck up way"

can you decompose this headache into constituent parts for me?

at its simplest, the manifest is "put a signed JSON file on your web server". what gets in the way to make it so confusing and complicated?

(not suggesting this is actually easy and everyone is dumb, it's obviously confusing to many people and the tooling is not working. but I don't think the fundamental concept is super complex)
