you can receive payments when you're offline
The only way that can be done is on the chain with an output assigning a key, anything above the chain requires some sort of sweep to make it trustless. Otherwise, its just delay tolerant.
I've got plenty on musings on the silliness that happens because people refuse to accept the reality that the internet doesn't work offline, that's why there are servers, or nodes in this case... nodeless = someone elses node.
UX advantages of not using channels
I already acknowledged your position in responding to the demands of who this caters to, that's a separate argument from whether or not this is comparable to lightning and whether or not it should be positioned as if it was.
You also told me a long time ago to focus on one thing, I think after I had been spending time on Video and away from the our OG wallet...
Now imagine if we both took your advice and neither got distracted by things other than the best Lightning UX possible, and just stayed hyper-focused on localizing trust and better automation that ensures users never have to be intimate with their channel management. No blockstream clouds or shitswaps, no Sparkswaps, no Arkswaps (I presume Ark is next on body-trail of nodeless wallets?), and no video hosting while running a node still sucked.
There's still plenty of ground to make-up.
centralized exchange
Does it or does it not have to use a centralize exchange to act as a Lightning wallet? Are the minscule balances of the users this caters to any different than those on a custodial exchange?
shouting "scam"
You dissented when I called it marketing, either way it is what it is... LightSpark... ffs, if not a scammer what other kind of asshole came up with that name in this context?

I think I'm following my own advice, I just allow myself to use the best tools for the job and acknowledging there's no one size fits all when it comes to last mile solutions.
Lightspark started a Lightning SaaS, hence the name. Spark evolved internally, and it's a play on the company's name.

Fair enough, when the best tool is ready for broader distribution you'll be the first to know... your channel is a perfect match for Lightning.Pub end-users, so long as I get the power users in their lives ready to serve them... then it'll be easy to obviate whatever the fake L2 du-jour happens to be that day.
