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.)
