What about a library for mobile Nostr apps to delegate automatic invoice payment to the user's preferred LN wallet?

- Nostr app registers with LN app (exchanges keys)

- Nostr app requests LN app to pay invoice.

Implementing LN wallet features is a lot of overhead for a Nostr Client, and it may even harm the overall user experience.

If I can send a request to CashApp to automatically pay in the background, that is a huge burden lifted. Also opens up further use cases for things like podcasting 2.0, etc.

Since there is user interaction to zap (or boost), the requesting app has the foreground in Android. Sending an Intent to the user's preferred LN wallet means Android allows plenty of time to make the network request to pay the invoice, and I even bet you could spin up a Tor Daemon if user is self hosting.
