Yes, exactly.
This is the plan I have coming for Blixt.
With the 0conf channel support in lnd (and other implementations), it's possible to provide a "custodial" channel by just not ever broadcasting the channel opening transaction.
This is quite neat, because there's no need to do a fully custodial solution (BlueWallet, WoS), just utilize LN normal channels, but make it trusted.
This way people can get onboarded Blixt custodially.
I cannot open a channel for small amount like 1000 sats, right, and I don't think it matters if it's custodial when it's just a small amount.
But eventually when the user has proven they actually use the wallet, it's reasonable to let them have a real channel.
Awesome!
FWIW, Blixt is the main Lightning wallet I use. Though I use it for a totally different reason: I exclusively open private Lightning channels to my own Lightning node. I hope you are able to maintain this functionality. :)

That's great to hear!
Yes, I plan to maintain all power user stuff (and keep improving it).
My understanding is that it's somewhat popular for users to connect to their own bitcoin and lightning nodes.
Though the LSP features will ofc likely only work together with Blixt Node (or you'll have to self-host the LSP software (Dunder LSP, Lightning Box)).
