Will we ever get a fantastic non-custodial wallet user experience for products like Zebedee (and ahem SN)? If so, what will need to be done (either on the app side, implementation side, or network/protocol side) to get us such an experience?

I have high hopes for hybrid approaches. Things that excite me on this front:
  • Hosted channels
  • Offline receiving through LSPs
I believe it will be a combination of some network/protocol capabilities coupled with best in class UX for end-users. I don't know whether it will be 100000% non-custodial, but likely a hybrid mix where for some small time period your LSP is holding onto some funds on your behalf. Seems reasonable and achievable.

The solution Breez and Blockstream are working on might be an answer to your needs: https://blog.blockstream.com/lightning-platform-breez-to-integrate-greenlight-to-build-non-custodial-lightning-apps/

Greenlight/lightning-signer? It's definitely a solution to some of the problems our apps face, but apps like ZBD and SN have different needs/user expectations than Breez.

Yeah a bit different offering than what ZBD is aiming for but still very cool. I mean hybrid more in the sense that users can hold keys but ZBD can act as the LSP for liquidity provision and etc.
