Matthew, I think you have a good point about apps offering (at first launch?) online account integration instead of expecting users to use the initial login experience or Settings > Online Accounts.

I filed https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/629 for Nautilus (marked a duplicate of a bigger design bug).

Someone should probably file bugs for Calendar and To Do.

I think the Software app already asks for Ubuntu log in when it needs it to install an app. Backups (Deja Dup) looks good to me too.

I think that's it for the default 18.10 install (except for LivePatch which is only in LTS releases and gets its own page in Welcome to Ubuntu).

For bonus points, the other GOA apps are Bijiben (GNOME Notes), Contacts, Documents, Evolution, Feedreader, Maps, Music, Photos, and Recipes. I think Recipes does well in its Export Ingredients step. Evolution, Maps, and Photos don't do very well.

(And a really hidden one: cpdb-backend-gcp which allows "printing" to Google Drive from the standard Ubuntu print dialog. But if you aren't logged in to Google in GOA, the print dialog doesn't advertise the feature at all. The almost complete MIR is LP: #1747762)

I encourage you to discuss this concern with the GNOME Design team. Generally, I think they prefer using #gnome-design on GNOME IRC.

There is a GitLab now which might work too:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/Teams/Design/-/issues

I am removing Facebook from the Welcome to Ubuntu list of online accounts. LP: #1797736

Finally, people don't really read closed Launchpad bugs so you'll need to open new bugs if you want to pursue this further.
