the best part of working on #bitcoin and Lightning is that I rarely have those lack of motivation days that I used to have in fiat/tech job land
knowing that everything I do has a positive impact on all bitcoiners and Lightning users makes bigly motivation come naturally π§‘π«‘

bit of minor feedback for the custom zap flow in #[0]β (react if you see this too, b/c might just be me)β¦
When I set up a custom Zap, any input to that flow (zap amount, message) results in the keyboard popping up. Then, itβs tricky to get the keyboard to go back down and actually send the zap. Takes 10-15 seconds of tapping around in the UX to lower the keyboard and see the send zap button. Likely just a simple tap target sizing fix I assume π§‘ποΈ
Would it be possible to create share flows for npubs that are a deep link into a Nostr client for easier click through follows?
For example, rather than posting an npub to some social site (Twitter), you post a link that deep link opens a userβs Nostr client to the profile page and then itβs just a one click follow.
As of now, itβs a bit clunky to copy and paste npubs, search, then follow. Maybe already exists and Iβve missed it.

lakers stepped on their throats to close that out. playoff experience matters in the nba more than any other sport imo.

With the latest version of the Lightning Loop client, users have access to MuSig2/TR swaps for Loop In and Loop Out. These swaps improve cost and privacy. Just use the - - experimental flag within loopd to use those cheaper, more private swaps.
