 I think we all want to see self custodial lightning succeed with a degree of ease on par with custodial lightning, especially where it intersects with nostr like Mutiny did. It was an exciting and promising product, and I think the hopes of it getting better with time kept people on board even with the channel closures and other issues. The ecash integration was exciting. The fact that it runs in a browser was exciting. And all you had to do was download an app or save a PWA to your phone. The hiccups were frustrating but perhaps tolerable as their work continued. But then this announcement came out of the blue, and speaking for myself it felt like they weren’t saying everything. I respect what they built and the talent it took to do it. It felt like they spent the last year building huge momentum and everyone’s trust, and abruptly pulled the plug on the very thing they built that trust on. It’s just very disappointing.  
 Agreed 
 With the very recent change in leadership, including Marks as new Chief Product Officer, my guess would be that they have a new product or direction already in mind and just not ready yet to announce what it is.

If I had my druthers, it would be web of trust related.🤞🏻 
 I’m curious. Tony said in an earlier reply that they weren’t building another wallet, so I’m wondering what else they may be working on.
