Your knowledge is top tier JS, I was unaware of the bolt12 stuff, until you explained it earlier, I innocently shilled phoenix thinking I was helping but in hindsight I should have recommended shockwallet.
The more you know about lightning, the more you don't know 🤷 look at when Nostr first appeared, the most used custodial lightning wallet, you know, they've gone down the self custody route using you know who, and any new nostriches are blissfully unaware.
Honestly Phoenix is probably the most turn-key wallet available right now, and they achieve that with centralization and trust.
Problem with phoenix is they went all in on the download and run path that leverages app stores for distribution, but in so doing lost sight of the goal of making Bitcoin (through Lightning) the default money of the internet.
I didn't get into it here but the reason Lightning is so stunted is most builders went down this path of the mobile node fantasy, and the incentives of earning sats off people who just want to tinker with it, not following the "jobs to be done" framework.
You don't run an email server on your phone, you shouldn't run a Lightning node on one either.
Bolt12 is the kind of nonsense that comes from not looking at the big picture. #1275941
Phoenix eventually started to figure this out after my trolling and launched phoenixd for servers last year.
I just recorded a pod today, when he publishes it I'll share, I get in a bit into Nostr's origins from the original ShockWallet that pre-dated it. Everyone that got into Nostr did so from the wrong angle, had they understood it's pre-history as an overlay network for Lightning to enhance self-custodial UX we'd be light years ahead.

not following the "jobs to be done" framework.
Side quest: Do you have any recommended reads on that framework, particularly in the context of Lightning?
Trying to preserve some of my sanity by side-stepping the half quadrillion generically scraped, keyword optimized, polished-turd articles my search threw up (almost literally).

I don't recall exactly where I picked it up from, I know it originated from Clayton M. Christensen of The Innovators Dilemma and Competing Against Luck... I may have audiobooked one of those at some point
Christensen, Hall, Dillon, and Duncan contend that by understanding what causes customers to "hire" a product or service, any business can improve its innovation track record, creating products that customers not only want to hire, but that they'll pay premium prices to bring into their lives. Jobs theory offers new hope for growth to companies frustrated by their hit and miss efforts.
I know for a fact I had to listen to the The Lean Startup for a founders group, which talked about the same principles, iirc it was pretty boring in that it was mostly just common sense and crushed it on 1.5x
