I can just speak for myself, but I really like the way you started by explaining exactly what the Alby Hub is. I have been using it for weeks, yet I still wasn't quite sure how to describe it.

Yes I got that question from many people and many had the impression that is another standalone LN node. I don't know why they have that in mind.
Alby Hub do not work without a LN backend node, but can "act like one" with a simple UI. What pleasant surprised me was the connection with Alby Go. So damn simple and fast.

Yes, and the graphics are so big! You can see it easily even when paying a bar tab when you're a little drunk! One thing I was worried about was the big fiat and btc balance fonts. Somebody looking over your shoulder. I messaged them. They said you can change permissions in the NWC connect so the app doesn't know balances.
