Are you looking for stacker news in the Alby Hub app store?

Yeah, it had been there previously, but now it's not showing up.
I'm trying to start over, because something wasn't working with the connection I had made before.

Thanks :)
Overall, it was a pretty smooth experience.
My main two feedbacks would be:
-
After the initial welcome screens you're asked to connect to an Alby account. This was a bit confusing because it made it seem like you need an Alby account to use the desktop app, but you don't actually need to.

Step 1 of "Getting started" suggested by the app is to increase inbound liquiidty by buying liquidity from a provider (i.e. paying someone to open a channel to you.) I don't have anything against that, but I think it's confusing to LN beginners. Especially because the payment for the channel is itself over lightning.My guess is that a more "comfortable" experience is for beginners to deposit their own bitcoin into the LN wallet and then open a channel with outbound liquidity. Maybe the suggested first steps could be 1) deposit bitcoin 2) open a channel, and you can provide a list of suggested channels. (That's just my two cents, you guys are the experts.)
