 The only thing I do not like about alby right now is that it's not open for every one to create an account (I understand why but this sucks for newcomers like me).

I did setup nos2x to sign my auth without exposing my nsec in browser clients and it worked great!

 It is open for everyone to use Alby in certain settings. There are some ways you cant use use it without an invite code.

Maybe I should make a tutorial about how to use for newbies.

 If you are willing to use you "own node" option, you can pay $25/month for Voltage.cloud. really easy low maintenance option, but has a cost. Nos2x may be the best option for now. 

Upon further review I see there is no option for new users without a node.

 Yeah… I do not want to setup my own lightning node and make alby connect to it. Too much trouble haha

For sending zaps configuring a non custodial wallet like blue wallet is enough?

 Yes, what client do you use? Easiest setup atm would be primal. Allows for built in zap wallet on iOS and is on all mobile and desktop options. highly recommend using it primarily on mobile. 

Everyone makes a big stink about logging into your nostr account with a copy/paste of your insec, but when you first get started dont worry about doing it to make life easier. Just dont build your account for years and have bad login habits.

 Thanks for your support!

I’m using Damus right now, and Primal for web browser

 Damus on iOS? Do you have a few minutes for me to guide you through this process to get your zaps setup in DM?
