I've tried to look it up in my free time, but wasn't able to find much clarity. I use the LDK node via albyhub self-hosted on my start9. It's hands down the lightest, best experience I've had using lightning outside of phoenix wallet. I've also played around with the bolt 12 offers feature and it seems to work great too.

Wondering if anyone has read something or has a beat on how progress of being able to pay bolt 12 offers in LDK is coming along. Tried to sift through their github and maybe im too noob but wasn't clear to me. I've done the core lightning node thing but as far as just running a small private node, LDK is so much better than running a core lightning node. I also think that LDK adoption of full send / receive for bolt 12 would help progress adoption of that feature (i dont really have a problem with ln addresses, but I appreciate the spirit of bolt 12 and would like to see it be more widely adopted).
