Brick wallet

A web frontend for NWC

How to try it

Just click here: https://supertestnet.github.io/brick-wallet/

What is this?

This is a basic web wallet with send, receive, and a history tab. If you try to use it, it will first ask you to connect it to a backend that supports NWC -- e.g. consider connecting it to Bankify. After that, you can send and receive money as well as view your transaction history.

What is NWC?

It stands for Nostr Wallet Connect and it's a standardized api for controlling lightning wallets programmatically. Learn more here: https://nwc.dev

LOL talking about how nice is NWC / nostr but posting videos from twatter instead of nostr.build... (now that SN have the embedded video feature ready).

OK here is your video posted on nostr

nostr.build is not "on nostr," it's just a regular file server hosted on a cloud computing platform. Several nostr clients use it but it's not doing anything specifically nostr-y to my knowledge. And even if it was, I don't think it's necessary to use nostr for everything just because it exists. Wherever its competitors offer an equivalent product, I am content using either one or both.

Yes you are right. I just don't like to open twatter links, only if are necessary. I mention nostr.build because now you can embedded mp4 videos directly on SN so I do not have to open any other site to watch them.

I made it because at work the other day I overheard my friend helping someone set up an LN node, and my friend told him if he wants to use this node from his phone he'll need to install tailscale so his phone can talk to his computer without being choked by a firewall. The new node runner complained and said it was all too much -- it was hard enough to install a node, if every node runner also has to install tailscale on their node and their phone and then hook that up to their wallet, then no one will do it.

So I said, "You don't have to install anything on your phone. You can use Nostr Wallet Connect to control your node." And my friend said, "Hey, that's a good idea. What wallets are there for that?" So I asked in the NWC discord channel for a wallet recommendation and found that there are lots of nostr clients that connect to NWC, but only one wallet -- Alby Go -- and when I tried Alby Go it gave me a connection error (which I reported and they are pushing out a fix before their release in a few days).

So, I identified my requirements:

a simple wallet
not a social media client
send/receive/history
no need to install anything special on your phone
connect via NWC

And, since nothing on the market matched those requirements, I just made one. I started working on it two days ago and finished it yesterday. Well, "finished" is a loose word here. I have a few more features I can add to it, like lnurl support, lightning address support, base layer support, swaps, lovelier buttons, and so on. But the basics are there.

Coulda had him set up a Lightning.Pub in 2 minutes and have full control of the node over Nostr, guests etc... and shockwallet also has a pwa option: https://my.shockwallet.app
