✨ Announcing the release of Cashu.me – a Cashu wallet for the web! ✨
Cashu.me is a Chaumian Ecash wallet for Bitcoin built as a progressive web app (PWA). Today, we're excited to announce its first release and would like to thank all developers and users who have helped to build and improve this wallet. Cashu.me is free and open-source software released under the MIT license.
To get started, open Cashu.me in your browser and install it to add it to your home screen. We recommend to use your device's native browser for the best experience. Beware that Ecash is a bearer asset which means that if you delete your browser data or lose access to your device without a proper backup (see below), you will lose your funds. Use this wallet only for small spending amounts.
New Features
Countless new features for this release give you the best possible Ecash experience. We're bringing this ancient crypto technology back into the 21st century and present you a modern interpretation of the original cypherpunk vision - built on Bitcoin.

Remarks from total noob users:
- when clicking "add mint" nothing happens (yes I know, you should already know a mint url, but noobs don't even know what that is).
Maybe provide a few examples, or mints in a list?
- the instructions for chrome are incorrect on desktop
- when clicking receive > lighting you'll get an error b/c noobs don't have a mint yet, so can't accept LN?
Thank you, all valuable feedback that I'll consider!
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to make sure it doesn't get buried!
