 The best user interface is often one that gives you only what you need and nothing more.

Kudos to @Alby for passing my Drunk User Test™ by giving me a wallet app with two enormous buttons that just do what you expect.

This is solid UX design. 🙌🐝⚡️ https://i.nostr.build/1CtuRog8W4IuRkZZ.jpg https://i.nostr.build/M9MQWgZUFNlyiNKm.jpg https://i.nostr.build/tV6Rf4IdnEoPwRrY.jpg  
 We’ll give that @Alby the old Hozzel Road Test soon enough. 
 What's the test like!? 
 It’s where @HozzelRocket gets absolutely sloshed at his local watering hole and forgets that they don’t accept bitcoin so he sends me a drunken DM demanding to buy me a drink over Lightning. 
 😂 
 Alby rocks!🤟 
 no, YOU rock! 
 We designed it thinking of people like you 
 Has the Alby mobile app rolled out?🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡⚡🚀🚀 
 Alby Go is optimized for the bars and the lightning beer taps out there!  🍻🍻🍻


(with a budget configured in the hub you could also control the sats you have available for drinking... but no good bar story every started with limiting your spending for drinks ;) )

 But does the app work only with Alby hub or also with the classic custodial account? 
 For now only with the Hub. 
it uses NWC as a communication protocol and thus it would actually also work with other nodes/wallets that support NWC.  
 i tried connecting it to my umbrel LND node using the alby NWC app, got an error. something about length of string 
 Do you have a screenshot? You have installed it through the alby community store?

(official release will be coming soon to umbrel) 
 im not using alby hub, using a normal LND node running on my umbrel with your guys' NWC app connected it  
 ah, try out the new Hub with LND.
It basically is that old NWC app v2 
 Will do, thanks 
 I’m running two of my Alby Hub instances on it now. Plan to test with some additional NWC wallets soon. 
 Alby rocks! 
 Its literally two buttons, and I've been losing my mind.
