"Getting started with Lightning is as simple as clicking a link."
This statement from nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg is very powerful. Technology works best when it fades into the background and the product or service just works. We're getting closer and closer to this realization every day, thanks to innovating developers like those behind Mutiny. Keep up the fantastic work.
app is a bit confusing so far, prompts you to just send btc without setting up any self custody?
It's a self custodial app. The Lightning node runs on your phone.
right but this is the first thing you’re presented with, would be better to open with a backup process imo 
Oh I see what you're saying. Sorry. First thing's first. Backup your seed words. That makes sense for on-boarding.
Backing up can always take place in the settings. However, we do a back up prompt as soon as it has a balance.
We are taking the position of not encumbering users right off the bat just to look at a bitcoin app.

This is so exciting. Imagine being free from centralized app stores. Love it 💜🫂
PWAs are perfect to rip you away from the clutches of app stores, but they are not perfect solutions. Technically, any PWA can be updated without your consent.
Help me understand. PWA is a shortcut to the website right? So, do you mean Safari or Chrome can update their browser to get rid of the short cut? What am I missing?
Not exactly. A PWA is a little bit more than just a website shortcut. It can run background processes and interact with hardware components independently. There's no need for a browser to be running.
I see. So, the unsolicited update that you were talking about, are you referring to Apple and Google or the app creators? If Safari pushes an update and breaks the app, couldn’t I just access the website directly from another browser?
Any app creator can update a PWA and you cannot choose to not update. With at least a native app, you can choose to not install it.
PWAs do run in the browser, just usually a sandboxed instance of it (on mobile).
Self hosting would be the safest, most paranoid friendly way to use one.
My client will be usable with any static hosting, and will be able to run entirely on the client using WASM. Pretty sure others can as well.
Windows or Mac users could try XAMMP or something similar, download the zip, and run it locally on their machine.
It’d be good to see some of these bundles as tauri or electron apps as well.
