Hi. Yes we need this. Sent you a request for access to the doc.

@phkla1 I'd recommend that you follow the mentioned blog post here: https://kyle-peacock.com/blog/dfinity/integrating-internet-identity/ which gives you the high-level view of how to integrate with your app.

If you need access to a lower level, or want to write your own auth client you can follow the documentation here: https://github.com/dfinity/internet-identity/blob/3a0cebe7fa60b71f3a7a7cc25127171bcee52ca4/docs/internet-identity-spec.adoc#client-auth-protocol

@kritzcreek thanks. I'm actually looking to help (another) newbie who might face some of the documentation issues that I did. The two docs you cited are great and I was (eventually) able to work through them, but I had to jump around many other docs in order to get a satisfactory (for me) understanding...e.g. what is @dfinity/agent? @dfinity/authentication? @dfinity/identity? how does Kyle's project structure align with the quickstart?..etc..etc. I want to help fill that documentation gap.

Added more information in the README and added a demo project, hope this helps! Feel free to open another ticket for more specific issues.
