Yeah, it's the same story with UIs - If you make a really complicated UI, it takes a lot of work & code to do it and it will be full of bugs, since on average every tenth line of code has a bug.
Why not do simple and intuitive UI instead? 🙂
Is more like a "LN funding source".
Is not meant to be a LN wallet or LN node. I mean it runs like a LN node in automatic mode, but to interact with it in a proper way you need something like LNbits or BTCpay on top of it.
I think the best use case for it will be as a funding source for LNbits.
LND doesn't need lnbits or btcpay.
What will be interesting to see if more app devs will build apps that could link a phoenixd backend to it.
For example Alby, Zeus, Bitbanana, Lnbits, Walletano.
I'm really thrilled for this! It could be very much helpful to wrap phoenixd into a deployable service that uses phoenixd in order to have a lnaddress. 24/7 running LN wallet with an lnaddress attached without bothering with the fullLN node setup.
I'm yet to see any complaints about phoenixd. Did they really get it that right from the jump?!
It seems like the downsides are the LSP dependence and the higher fees, but is that all?
When you make a really simple interface, it's harder to add bugs...
No doubt. Less surface area for them to appear on.

I stripped out a Voltage Node and replaced it with Phoenixd on Sintra. Considerably cheaper and very easy to work with. No complaints so far.

Yeah, that's my understanding. Seems like a great use case for businesses that want to accept lightning payments.
It depends on the definition of a lightning node but I'd describe it as a lightning node without routing/liquidity concerns.
I think it is meant to be like the Phoenix wallet, but can always receive because it's running on a server (and not on a phone).
The same can be said for LND, can't it?

https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/pull/2362 I see LNBits gang is on it!! Nice!
when will Zeus or other managing wallets will support it?

Running phoenixd in portainer app on umbrel testing with with many different stuff built on top. https://zaps.alex71btc.com/

It's fun!
Receiving Nostr zaps with lnbits-phoenixd now possible with this patch: https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/pull/2514#issuecomment-2119055615
Thanks!
