Research direction

Start by reviewing the public API's client-registration and PKCE guidance, then determine whether this request belongs in the API repository or a support workflow. Done means a maintainer has confirmed the supported client type and redirect URI process for Cosmix.

Description

@dpreussler You mentioned on #365 to open a help center ticket and ping you, so here. My ticket number is 4900324.

I'm working on Cosmix a little Windows music player that puts your SoundCloud and Spotify stuff in one library. I want to do it the proper way with the official api but since it's a desktop app I can't really hide a client secret anywhere. Would you be able to set it up as a public client so it can log in with PKCE and no secret?

Redirect URI: http://127.0.0.1:8123/callback/soundcloud
My account: https://soundcloud.com/g4xy

Thanks a lot would really appreciate it
