But the question is,, how many wallet apps you see doing this kind of documentation_

Most apps do not even allow the functionality to begin with! A good blog post will be ideal; imagine having documentation.

In regard to wallets using LDK to spin up nodes, do you know why BlueWallet removed the functionality?

Maybe because they failed to implement it. They started early when LDK was quite bad. I myself I lost 100k in that version. Puff are gone, never recoverable. And nobody have any idea what could be done. Same with BitKit. Is a disaster.

That's another +1 for ZEUS, as it allows connecting to testnet and playing in an environment where coins have no value. Apart from Electrum desktop, is ZEUS the only one enabling testnet on mobile? Blixt?

Yes Blixt also.
I consider testnet useless. Real testing is with real sats. You are not a real bitcoiner if you are not a bit reckless.

I do not mind losing some sats testing. I mind when the app dev is not paying attention or even not helping me to recover those sats and fix the issue. Both Bluewallet and Bitkit ignored my messages and even tried to shut me off instead of dealing professionally with those issues.

Agree, that sucks. Not considering user feedback has a price. I think we have seen the consequences of it in both cases.

I consider testnet useless.

Not everyone can afford losing precious sats. I continue seeing testnets as a great educational tool to increase newbies' confidence in dealing with both on-chain and LN wallets. I wish there were more LN wallets plugged into testnet networks.

For a dev testnet yes is useful, in the initial phase of developing.
But as a user tester it doesn-t make too much sense,. mostly because you MUST test LN mechanisms in real use case to find real bugs.

Newbies don't care about finding bugs. They expect the app to work in mainnet (ideally testnet too). The issue is that most of the time apps fail, and users feel they did something wrong, when instead it is not the case.

Testnet LN network is not comparable, I know. However, I continue saying it is useful for learning purposes.
