In playing around with nostr again, I just came across Alby. It *looks* super slick, but I have no idea if it's legit. I could dig in and try to figure out... or I could just ask here and see if anyone has any opinions.

It's custodial like wallet of satoshi but it's legit.

It's more than that! You can connect your node and wallets and use it non-custodially

I have been using it hasn’t let me down yet just sent 10k sats to my own node from zaps accumulated there in fact!

The purists don’t like Alby because it’s hosted (custodial) and they’re in to complying with laws. But I think it’s a great app and the Nostr Wallet Connect protocol they developed is great too.

I use Alby connected to my own node. Works great.

The devs are legit there. Great group!

You can still use it with your own node.

Excellent product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. A great lightning wallet to use temporarily, and a secure way to secure your Nostr private key for signing notes.

The integrations on podcasting 2.0 are also quite stellar

I'm from Alby and I'm legit 😅

What’s cool is we have the founders and devs right here to chat with.

Legit and open source.
