Description

Right now (especially when using Object Storage) the first login of a user can take quite some time.

It would be nice if we could show a message stating 'preparing your Nextcloud environment' or something similar.

That would then also give us the opportunity to preload some of the heavier javascript files.

Just all in all giving a bit smoother UX.

@nextcloud/designers @jancborchardt @ChristophWurst @skjnldsv @juliushaertl what do you think?

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Begin by tracing the first-login path, especially with Object Storage, and inspect how the initial JavaScript is loaded. Done means a setup notification appears during the slow first login and heavier JavaScript is preloaded without disrupting login.
