I don't think Tim Apple or Sundar Google should be in charge of what we can do on our devices.
Hey stacker news folks, I'm jared of the team and keen to hear the good/bad/ugly feedback from you all.
So we recently built and just launched the beta of our mobile bitcoin lightning wallet which is, tech wise, built as a progressive web-app – so it behaves like a native app, but doesn't need an app-store.
This way Apple & Google can't censor you like they did with Damus tweet, jack dorsey.

Key things we were focused on for the launch:
- Get started in a minute, super-easy for anyone to experiment with 🏎️
- No app store required. Download it right from your home-screen and use it how you want without needing big-techs approvals 📱
- Smart QR scanner to pay and receive funds with a single scan 🤳
- Lightning address to easily receive bitcoin from across the internet – without being tied to one app. Interoperability first! ⚡
- Easy to use send and receive user interfaces – with support for all core functionality for lightning interoperability 💼
- Personalize your experiences with a custom name and avatar in your mash experiences 👩🎤
