I've seen more of these coming up lately, so why not start comparing and see what differentiate each one. Anyway, simply to demystify PWAs, you'll find here below the current set of available web-based LN wallets supporting Progressive Web App (PWA) features.
As powerful freedom tools PWAs are, some of the open source code you'll find below can be easily self-hosted. Power it by running your own LN node or using other third parties ones via NWC or even via CASHU Ecash mints. You have plenty of options and hope this list help you make wiser decisions when choosing a lightning address— because let's be clear, that's the hook. But I agree, it is always easier to download an app from a wallet store, simply for the ease of use and portability, and at the cost of privacy.
PWAs have recently pop up like shrooms in ta bush. The reason might be due to the continuous ToS changes and constraint in centralized app stores, the lack of decentralized distribution alternatives like Fdroid, zap.store, etc... And the newest COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) imposing age-restriction requirements to all major websites and internet services. For sure, this is for your safety and privacy, not for surveillance reasons.
The data provided is maybe inaccurate or changed recently.

PWA Lightning Network Wallets Comparison

Listed alphabetically, without prejudice.

Notes

  • Free under Fees, means that the platform does not charge extra fees on top of the lightning network fees.
  • Both under Non-custodial, means that the software allow custom settings, providing a default custodial node with the option for the user to switch to a different LN node.
  • Optional under Non-custodial refer to the software being noncustodial when self-hosted.

This is a great table! I was just thinking about all the different new ln wallets I've seen lately and trying to remember them. Thanks for putting it all in one place!

There are potentially many more, these are the most common one and the one I was able to put together.
Latest @supertestnet entries are really interesting, despite using custodial mints and nwc, one can self-host the Ui. It introduces kind of a new approach, especially the use of cashu mints as LN backend, I have never seen used this way before.
Weird stuff happening across all these layers

Great list, thanks.
What happens when the options change? Will you re-do the post?
Maybe you could put in an empty "post", and then put your actual list in a pinned comment. That way you could change it when necessary.
There's so much great information in Stacker.News that is transitory, because you can't update posts.

Well, I'll be forced too... there's no other option! That's how SN works, it prioritizes create-new instead of edit-maintain. I really hope the feature to make editable posts will come soon (cc @ek @k00b).

I noticed @AGORA doing something similar for their shopfront thing. DO you have any other examples where this approach has been used successfully?
reply
Nope, I was thinking about doing it myself, but didn't get around to it.
But I'm pretty sure it works, other people have done it.
Now whether it actually gets shown, I'm not sure about that. But at least you'd have ONE post that would always be a good reference.
Editable posts - seems like they'll take a while. And this should work now.

One wallet is enough except if you have reached wallet sending and receiving limits and this is rare case for low stackers.

This is super helpful, seeing PWAs mapped out like this makes it way easier to understand the tradeoffs. Big thanks for pulling all this together.
