Genuine question: who are these article written for? Is it for someone googling for NWC or are they for developers? Consumers?
Users connect wallets instantly or create a wallet account in no time.
Instantly is not an honest portrayal. When we have nostr wallet auth instant isn't as much of a stretch, but one-click-and-confirm is what someone should say about that.

Clearly for devs. Imagine if, say, the Craigslist app could, in an afternoon, add the ability to connect to a lightning wallet so users could pay each other. Or literally any other app that wants users to exchange value with each other or pay for in-app services.

I don't think it's clear which is why I asked the question. It seems like it's written for everyone which means it's too technical for normals and has too marketing speak for technical people.

Yeah you're right, it's "marketing to devs"

For those who didn't know what NWC is (like me):
NWC, known as Nostr Wallet Connect, is this open protocol that allows for sustained interaction between bitcoin lightning wallets and apps.
Users can initiate connections straight from apps, which can call NWC-enabled wallets to confirm the connection, or by scanning a QR code, or pasting a link inside the app. Once the connection is set, the app can request lightning payments through a Nostr relay.

Interesting read. It made me consider when Iā€™m onboarding a newbie, to introduce them to bitcoin and nostr via an app like Primal or Damus. Zap them a few sats back and forth, but essentially have them interact with bitcoin first through lightning.
