This week's Freedom Tech Friday was a good one.
npub1vxp3xzwth4yrxnuydzsunfr2qjt0swfhpxz3mfgcqpdldaglpwxqysg5a5 (npub1vxp…g5a5) joined the show to walk us through the PhoenixD Dashboard -- contacts, recurring payments, analytics, Tor, multiple themes -- all self-hosted, all open source.
But the real gold was his take on Lightning itself. A developer who's tried everything from running his own channels in 2018 to building on top of PhoenixD, being brutally honest about why Lightning centralizes by design and what we actually need going forward.
If you care about self-custody Lightning or just want to see one of the cleanest Bitcoin UIs around, this one's worth your time.
