Oddbean new post about login | logout We could disappear and you could still run Alby Hub or Alby Extension! Did you get to try them?
Alby hub backed by LND made me login to getalby for some apis. Can I host the Alby backend AlbyHub talks to on my own hardware?
Currently Alby Hub is connected with the account and it links them together and loads some LSP info from the backend for example. Currently the account is required (most people also want the ln address etc.) But in a future version it will probably also be fully stand-alone.
That's not what the marketing account posted above...and "probably"? 😡 Alby seriously needs to be better 😔
I said "probably" because some features will be missing. E.g. our channel recommendations, or the channel auto-pilot, or email notifications. Those features then will have some static defaults or will require you to do something manually (like choose an LSP, setup the LNURL, monitor, ...) You can check GitHub it's all there. Don't take the word here, I invite you to check the code there (and contribute issues and pull requests)
I tried the cloud-hosted Alby Hub. It's nice, but I want to be able to onboard other people, especially people on my team, so we can develop Zap features on Nostr. I think a Team account would go a long way to improving this.
Did you check "Isolated" type of NWC connection in the Hub? It could effectively create subaccounts/team accounts with separate balances but shared liquidity Here is a demo: https://nwc-mint.fly.dev/ What would you do with such NWC string? ;)
