Is nice to see another simple LNURL server among many others (I listed them here).
I don't want to trust third party services like Wallet-of-Satoshi, or Stacker.news with my money
That statement is wrong. Why? As I explained in many other guides, when you receive sats, is better to use a decoy, that will not reveal the real destination of the funds. And non-KYC accounts that offer a LNURL/LN address are the best for doing this. By using a LNURL that goes straight to your public node, you are revealing more than you want, especially when you receive from random users on internet...
On the other side, yes is good to have a self-custodial LNURL webserver pulling LN invoices from your own LN node. But that is good when you are dealing with almost trusted senders (business partners, well known clients, family, friends etc), so you keep this LN address (also linked to a personal domain) only for PRIVATE transactions.
Please make the big difference between the PRIVATE and PUBLIC use of the LN addresses. Many people are confusing them with just using on nostr or posted on their website or youtube, but they are mistaken.

In my case, this isn't a problem for my threat model. I would rather have full control and per-payment privacy. I don't need to hide the destination node from people who want to zap me. But that's just me
(I listed them here).
Thanks! I wish I had found some of those earlier :P

If you know or find other services, software, applications, bundle solutions that offer a LN Address and are not mentioned here, please let me know
Haven’t tried this one yet, but here is a way to get a lightning address that points to your Phoenix server: https://github.com/AngusP/phoenixd-lnurl
