With Hub coming down the pike, are you planning to move away from the extension (or app if that ever comes), or maintain both custodial and self-custodial solutions?

We will continue working on extension, but will not continue to support Alby hosted wallets.
However current users of Alby hosted wallets don't worry for now - you can continue using it, there's no any date set for sunsetting them. We will communicate with our users about this well in advance.
But I encourage all users with Alby hosted wallets to try Alby Hub!

The extension is self-custodial :) And you can link it to almost any type of node. We don't plan on abandoning it, we also hope that it can live its open-source life for a long time even if we are not there.
We are opening only self-custodial solutions for new users from now on.

The extension is essential to enable lightning for web apps! it’s teaching the browser to talk bitcoin.
and as so far users can use any wallet they want ideally. With NWC and also Alby Hub this will become even easier going forward. For example it never has been so easy now to use the Alby Extension with you node ok Umbrel.
