Awesome, yes they get many things right.

Oh, man, I didn’t realize you’re working on Oak! What an awesome work! Been trying to push this solution to our community, but, sadly, too few people run #lightning nodes.
Do you see any ways of further development/adoption/scaling of this model towards the less tech savvy users?
Thank you sir!
IMO the biggest obstacle to running LN nodes is channel management. Some promising solutions are coming, but will take a while.
For less tech savvy people, the "Uncle Jim" model is probably best right now. But even here new solutions are coming: Greenlight from Blockstream lets you run your own LN node in the cloud, non-custodially. So its getting easier to run non-custodial nodes as well.
Oak is mainly for node runners, so if you have ideas or features you think are worth exploring, let me know.
