Oak Node v0.3.5 is now live in the Umbrel AppStore! Lots of Nostr goodies, including: - Shadowy LN Tips: the bot will send LN tips for every note you "like", directly from your Umbrel LN wallet to the note author's LN Address - NIP-65 support, to make sure the bot listens to your commands on the right relays, even as you change them - auto-reconnects to relays, npub support and more The main focus was to provide a viable alternative to zaps that is simple, private, non-custodial, and works with every Nostr client. Why publicize who you're sending sats to, how many, and when? You can have your bot send "Shadowy LN Tips" to the profiles you want, for the notes you want, by just clicking the like button from your fav Nostr client. Your bot, running on Umbrel, will pick that up and send the sats. No vanity zap counter, no privacy leaks on nostr.

There already is Umbrel + any Nostr client + sending LN tips on "like" #[0]
Likes are the middle ground. Public record that that shows enthusiasm and *may* also mean a tip was sent in secret. #[0]
Already possible: #[0] Not zaps per se (LN tips are sent, but remains private between sender and receiver) Works with every Nostr client. Bot sends sats automatically each time you click like on a note.
Not sure, haven't looked into that. I imagine app developers could do 1-tap zaps directly in the apps without much trouble.
i’m assuming most nostr client developers don’t want to host custodial wallets in the clients so i’m not sure how it would work in that case
All these complications.. Why not just a simple LN tip to the author? You can choose: repost author, or original post author, or both. Or go to the next level and use your Likes as "silent LN tips" : View quoted note →
For the fully non-custodial version of this, see Oak Node. Lets you have a bot on your Umbrel, who will listen for your Likes and react with a LN payment directly from your node. View quoted note →
