Hello, greetings.
I just installed my first plugin for strapi: strapi-plugin-netlify-deployments. After installing with yarn, and doing yarn run develop, I was in the admin panel of strapi, with the new “Netlify Deployments” item on the sidebar.

Having me to discover what was going wrong was not the best user experience.
A much better apporach would had been If I got some feedback about what was I missing, instead of the never ending-spinner, and the error on the terminal.
Something like this:
I understand that plugins not created by Strapi are outside of your scope, but Strapi could define that having some sort of feedback from the plugin, like the one I provided as an example, is a requirement for approval.
