LNBits Jitsi extension
Hi Max,
It's Nicholas from the LNBits Jitsi bounty. I wanted to give you an update of the work that's going on as well as the most recent updates, and to thank you for the generous bounty.

I've just submitted a PR to the repo to https://github.com/lnbits/jitsi/pull/2 (I verify my nostr pubkey in a comment there as well) to fix things that broke when changes to Jitsi and LNBits were made recently. @dni will give me access to push to the extension's repo soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to test, you can add this to the repo section of a manifest you use in an LNBits test instance:
```
{
"id": "jitsi",
"organisation": "nochiel",
"repository": "lnbits-jitsi-extension"
}
```
This only contains the chatbot functionality for interacting with LNBits.

The current roadmap for a full wallet UX is as follows:
- The screenshots I posted on Github (https://github.com/lnbits/jitsi/issues/1#issuecomment-1656982366) are for prototype wallet functionality that I'm trying to get included in Jitsi.
- The wallet functionality will allow us to have a nice UX for LNBits (or other Lightning Wallets) within Jitsi.
- I'm optimistic that this will be done by the end of summer *but* a lot of the work is in getting the PR into a condition that Jitsi will accept it into their codebase. As you can imagine, that's a significant amount of work involving a lot of back and forth, code reviews and so on.
Right now I have my own version of Jitsi that I test with. In order to use this version that integrates with LNBits, it would also be necessary for you (or whomever wants to test it) to deploy their own Jitsi backend servers.
(This would be the way to use a version of Jitsi with wallet functionality if it turns out that Jitsi don't want to include wallet in their main product functionality on principle.)
