River is working on a new product to allow clients to hold their own keys and recover their funds without River, all while maintaining a very simple UX and not having to manage liquidity, channels, peers, or infrastructure.

The LSPSpec and it's features is on our roadmap. This will improve the Lightning experience enormously. https://github.com/BitcoinAndLightningLayerSpecs/lsp

Not a lot to share, but lots of great stuff. I think 2024 will be a really good year for Lightning. There'll be a bunch of new stuff and preparing for or capturing the next bull cycle.
