This is a really minor bug report that probably only affects 2 or 3 people, but on graphene the SN PWA doesn't show all the letters on the sub drop down. Really a nit pick so maybe choose to ignore? I'm using the stripped down chromium browser.

Vanadium(the default browser on GrapheneOS) on Pixel 6a shows it fine.

I just checked both Vanadium and the PWA on my Pixel 7 and the problem appears both while accessing through browser and the PWA.

Might be a Pixel 7 issue in the GrapheneOS browser. You might want to ask there

I interpreted that post as the opposite, that the sub drop down is visible on a 6a, which is what I confirmed.

I see the confusion. I can see the sub drop down too. The very minor issue is that letters are cut off on the sub choices. It's most noticeable on bitcoin, which appears "bitco". The "e" is also cut off on "home".

I'm not getting that bug on a pixel 6a.
A picture is worth a thousand words:
The actual sub drop down shows fine, and the small text from the selected sub also shows fine, it displays all the letters of "Bitcoin", or "home", or anything selected, as can be seen in the screenshot in the top left.

There are probably quite a few people on graphene. I just have to figure out how to test

What fancy way would you charge for a service with Lighting? Share your QR code, your lighting email address, NFC?

I used to hack on Redis a lot and I always enjoyed see the ascii logo in the logs. If you haven't read it before, Redis has very finely written C code btw.

Had to resave SN to my Home Screen make it a PWA. Pretty slick will delete the old link. Used slashtags to login as well!

Can someone please explain to me how offline payments with lightning works? I’ve seen two videos on Twitter, one with a card and one recently with a ring. Just wondering conceptually how something like that even works.

I believe this is how it works ..
- one of the participants has to be online
- the offline device sends the online device a LNURL
- the online device makes a request to using LNURL
- if the online device is paying, it does a lnurl-pay
- if the online device is receiving, it does a lnurl-withdrawal

Ok, sounds like I need to learn how lnurl works.
If the online receiving device does lnurl-withdrawal, how does the sender authorize withdrawal of the sats? Or is it pre-authorization and then it’s authorized or signed or whatever when the user next gets online?

Yeah, it's similar to a QR code but with NFC.
The link goes to the server, ideally controlled by you and not a company, and there you can setup anything you want to allow, say a maximum of sats, etc.
Boltcards are ideal for this. Note that you don't need to have an account with them to buy or use the card. And they ship worldwide, they are nice cards.
You can create your own open source boltcard server here

iirc it requires entering a pin on the online receiving device

Yesterday during my switch to graphene I discovered a useful little app in fdroid called Notes. It's a very basic note app that accommodates markdown. So far I find it useful for SN posts since you can write on the fly and do a quick cut and paste. Works for me so far.
