0.772 Sat in fees for sending a $180 dollar payment over Lightning

I don't run a routing node. Just a few channels for spending money. So yes, it doesn't cost almost anything. That 1k sat saved in this transaction alone, is enough to open a channel if I needed to.

I run my own CLN node, and I just now sent a payment of $180, or 257k sats, and paid less than **0.772** sat in fees. That fees, converted to USD, is **$0.00054**.

**Conclusion:** Run your own node. On any other wallet, like Phoenix, it would have been thousands of sats in fees (1163 sats to be exact, last time I made a similar sized payment).

@Rahel's bio

Been using CLN for a bit now, and I really love it, but for some reason they STILL don't have a 1-click back option in their good-looking and otherwise wonderful GUI application. They even have an [open issue on Github](https://github.com/ElementsProject/cln-application/issues/21) for this, but it's dead with no comments or contributions. 

Does anyone know how to code this by any chance? lol. Been waiting for so long! Maybe we should set up a bounty?

I really feel this is the main bottle neck for more people using this app and CLN in general.
