It depends on the definition of a lightning node but I'd describe it as a lightning node without routing/liquidity concerns.
Is not meant to be a LN wallet or LN node.
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).
need something like LNbits or BTCpay on top of it
The same can be said for LND, can't it?
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.
