Dang that's so funny I was JUST talking about using LNDhub to OP family, with a friend of mine at a meetup last week or so!
I'm excited to test this scenario. I've tried it before using LNbits (and the LNDhub extension) but I ran into issues that day. IIRC after I scanned my QR code from the extension, Blue Wallet was frozen (I remember trying several times too).
I have more time now so I'll give it another shot.
