Gotta say, huge props to the Alby (npub1get…0nfm) team.

Alby Hub is an outstanding way to learn the basics of Lightning node running and channel management, in a way that the node-in-a-phone option doesn’t really offer.

It’s not that those tools aren’t great: I love Phoenix for its elegance, and Zeus is incredibly robust. However, Phoenix abstracts way *just enough* to make it beginner-friendly without needing to really understand, Zeus is extremely powerful for advanced users (if you know what you’re doing).

Alby Hub has found a perfect sweet spot, IMO: it incorporates fully functional channel management while making these elements accessible and easy to learn, with a friendly layout and great docs. Couple that with the PWA as a mobile wallet for the self-custodial node, and you’ve pretty much checked every box. (And I hear whispers of a mobile app…?)

Seriously great work, friends 🔥⚡️🔥
