I used that same guide too.
It was a headache, it reminded me that bitcoin has a way to go for mass adoption. Things need to become more intuitive.
What was the headhache? Can you point out your pinpoints?

Oh! I see you're the one who made the guide. I have no issues with your guide. It was actually incredibly easy AFTER I found that. So thanks.

When you go to attach, there's just a list of options, none of which I understand. It took me probably 30 minutes of searching just to find a guide I understood. Even now the NWC option only shows that it's attached for funding on my desktop, and not mobile. I have no idea why.

We hear you. We started with protocols like NWC to cover as many wallets at once as possible but we want to switch to showing wallets with logos etc.
I wrote a bit about that in this Github comment if you're interested (or any other reader of this comment).

We're working on syncing the spending credentials across devices end-to-end encrypted. They are currently only stored on the device you setup since they are pretty sensitive (they would allow us to steal from you) unlike the credentials to receive. There's a disclaimer on the wallets about that:
Wallet Security Disclaimer
Your wallet's credentials for spending are stored in the browser and never go to the server. However, you should definitely set a budget in your wallet if you can.
Also, for the time being, you will have to reenter your credentials on other devices.

Definitely, some times too technical. I understand we have to learn to properly use it. But, step by step guides do help a lot in some cases.

I agree on the learning, but it should be optional, not mandatory by default! It's like the emails... how many people you think know about the protocol running it (SMTP/IMAP)? People just use it naturally today.
Let's see if we can do the same with bitcoin, LN, nostr and ecash
