Not quite the same as Helium, but @Pseudozach has built an Android app that shares internet via wi-fi, it's called Lightspot.

this is cool, but now comes a dumb question: how to do you pay that LN invoice if you still don't have internet access from the hotspot?

reply

I had the same question. The captive portal first presents the LN invoice. Then:

In my app, I allow them access for the first minute or so and they can complete payment. Obviously you need to track it so it's not abused.
