Just checked out the pay 0-amount invoices stuff (great work nostr:npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef!). Would I be able to support this in my apps just by using lightning-tools 5.1.2? 😎

Discussion
I think I just updated lightning tools to be able to decode 0-amount invoices. What functions from lightning tools do you use in your app?
Right now, I’m using LightningAddress in the Bullish Shop to fetch an invoice and check if it was paid: https://bullishspace.pages.dev/shop
But it seems like this 0-amount support is mainly for wallets and in the scenario where the merchant doesn’t know how to set an amount on an invoice yeah.
I am working on an NWC wallet where this might come in handy. 😎
