Huge shoutout to the @Alby team for the onboarding and Q&A call today! β‘οΈβ¨β‘οΈ
Having a one-click self-custodial lightning node with AlbyHub and the app, AlbyGo, and options to connect via NWC to multiple apps is a game changer! π
I highly recommend jumping on a call if you have an Alby account, to have your questions answered and to offer feedback to the team π
πCheck your email for the invite to a call π₯
The team wants to be sure everything works and is streamlined before opening it up to everyone, so your feedback matters! π―
π» You can also send feedback and request features online at: https://feedback.getalby.com/

CONNECT ALBYGO APP TO YOUR ALBY HUB
If you already have AlbyHub, did you know you can connect it to the AlbyGo app?
πYou can choose the permissions all the way from full access to read only.

NOTE ON THE UNCLE JIM MODEL π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
While the team acknowledges that 1-person 1-node would be the ideal, and they make it EASY for anyone even vaguely tech-savvy, the reality is that until this a no-brainer for your grandma π΅ we need an interim solution.
This is where the Hub comes in, and you can be an Uncle Jim for your friends and family with AlbyHub, if you and they would like to use that option.
As I see it, this is a far better option than them using a custodial LN wallet!

Kudos to the team for all their work and efforts to make this self-custodial option while keeping it as user friendly as possible! π§‘ππ

RE: PRIVACY π΅οΈ
To have true privacy in Lightning is very challenging!
Unless you have the tech know-how to run your own instance of LND on your own server for example, there will be some trade offs.
For most ppl currently, in order to have a Lightning address (for eg: thesimplestbitcoinbook@getalby.com) you will need
an account with an email, although it *can* be a pseudonymous email, which offers some measure of privacy.
The beauty of the new self-custodial option with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is that you are 100% in control of your funds. You will get a 12-word seed phrase you must secure (and keep offline!) in case you ever need to restore your wallet.
You can also leave and transfer your funds out of Alby at anytime without needing βpermissionβ.

I will build it with nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8
App distribution is key and so underrated and underexplored. Nostr enables the creator economy fueled by micropayments and other social signal.
Pasting the note from the bad bird app, a reply to Amjad Masad from Replit.
"@amasad I know you're focused on building a better dev product.
I think you should 1000% find a team with consumer chops to help you rethink the Replit experience so it feels more like a creator than a dev experience.
Since distribution is the bottleneck, how do you make it super simple for people to find a world of software hosted on Replit that does what they need it to do?
Can they duet or remix it? Can it be like the Steam marketplace where people just buy once instead of racking up subscriptions? Comments and likes? Can Replit allow you to record a Replit-hosted video and walkthrough?
Like, if I were thinking about it, I'd do exactly what YouTube did and just have a bunch of knock-offs of existing software available on Replit for free or where people could just do micropayments to access it.
Because if it's this easy to make really basic software, then the assumptions as to distribution of software need to change, and all the value will [again] accrue to the distro layer, not the production layer."
