Yeah the setup should be much simpler than existing solutions. And you won't need to run other software like spark just to use your node like a wallet.
To access my clightning wallet I have to do a bunch of things which are not ideal:
  • run wireguard so that I can access spark from my phone
  • run spark so that I can send/receive funds
  • no native experience, I have to use the spark web ui which can't scan qrcodes.
  • tried zeus many times but spark just throws errors when zeus tries to connect
Some people use tor, but that is a terrible way to access your node. It's slow and insecure if you're just using it as a portal into your network. I have seen people lose funds by unwillingly open their node up to the public with tor.
There are so many failure modes with existing solutions. I figured the fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to do RPC directly to your lightning node that is already exposed to the internet. So the plan is to build a lightning wallet that can talk this protocol.
Awesome! Keep us updated with your progress.
