A must have tool for liquidity management. I wrote about it here: https://medium.com/breez-technology/lightning-is-a-liquidity-network-550896ca27ea

Thanks for the article!
I think that its going to be great for mobile wallets too. I can see a single balance wallet that's primarily lightning but can do on-chain spending and receiving via splicing.

Not sure. It's true that splice out is better than a reverse submarine swap from a UX standpoint, but it changes your channel capacity. Meaning, next time you top up via Lightning, you'll have to splice-in. Not ideal.

Good point, I hadn't considered the tradeoffs of changing the channel capacity. Definitely something to think about.
