Web installer not providing clear instructions what to do/check after install #1532

I might be mistaken, but I could've sworn that previously after a successful install the web installer provided different menu with options to f.e. configure Wifi etc. Is that not the case anymore? Or is that limited to certain ESP boards?

This weekend I installed tasmota on some ESP-01S's for the first time since a year or so. But after install I never got any clear indication that the flash was successful after a reconnect. Like the install succeeded to 100%, but when I then reconnected the ESP-01S the web installer just gave the same two options again: 1) Install Tasmota and 2) Show console.
As the console also never showed any output, I thought for a long time my ESP-01S we're faulty. It was only after a day that I had an epiphany to check the available wifi networks and it turned out that there was a tasmota-* wifi network available which I could use to finish setting up the ESP-01S board.

It would be great if the tasmota web installer at https://tasmota.github.io/install/ would be a bit more user friendly and showed clear instructions what to do and/or check after install :)
