Thanks for the mention.

Lightning.Pub isn't packaged up nicely for people averse to the command line quite yet, given the stage of development, but we are looking at packaging and distribution over the next month or so. Folks should stay tuned!

As you mentioned, the goal of the project is to make running Lightning infrastructure for your friends/family/customers easier than previously thought possible.

It may come as a surprise that the biggest hurdle to more Uncle Jim's hasn't been with Bitcoin/Lightning node management itself, that's easily automated as illustrated by bad patterns like mobile nodes.

It's the legacy baggage of traditional web infrastructure, things like IP4 reverse proxies, DNS, Firewalls and SSL certificates, all which require a personal configuration that is a hurdle for most.

We've solved that with a Nostr native RPC, and have some reverse SSH services in the works for backward compatibility with LNURL.

ShockWallet (also a dev alpha) is our reference client, you can experiment with today and not just with a Pub back-end. LNURL accounts can be added to the wallet as well.

Any would-be tinkers should feel free to reach out if they need some help getting started, helping you helps us to know where frictions lay.

There's nothing I want to see more than millions of family lightning nodes (not on a damn phone!) causing the deep state a fit as Bitcoin becomes the dominant world-wide Means of Exchange.
