 Fuck it, I'll write my own lightning wallet.  
 LDK 
 I don't see React Native bindings in LDK? 
I think I'm going to write it in RN because I know web dev and JS/CSS.  
 Tauri is worth checking out.  
 Hm, that seems to be just Rust builder that shows web view and you still have to write the UI app in something? It sounds like it would be quite hard to bridge between Rust and React/JS/TS for the wallet stuff, no? 
 Not if you go pure UI where it's just strings going to the frontend and back to the backend.
Or somewhere in between.   
 That’s really how this space works 😅🤣

My friends are developing one as well. 
 It's mainly that the experience with existing wallets sucks, so I'll do features that I like and need 😄  
 Feels like dorier pt 2 
make some shit obsolete  
 Sometimes just gotta 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 With Blackjack and hookers? 
 If you've already got black jack and hookers why do you need a lightning wallet? 
 This is the way 
 What brought this on? x3 
 I just want experience where at a restaurant, I can pull up a phone quickly, open the app and just swipe my screen to either pay or receive... 
Why does it have to be complicated and why do people create these crazy complex bank like interfaces? 
 The tech is there. I made an nfc card months ago that does basically that (though the UX of reaching that point in a non custodial way is not good, but the end result is a very simple UX usage).

Started checking out nostr:nprofile1qqsv4l9l00gf52yzpqf8vx9g79z68zqp8elhgz24jsx3pwdcdfcjztsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0pjtvtv today and it's, from the looks of it, the best out there at the moment. Perhaps they'd see your comment and add that function in the future (to utilize some phones' NFC, if available, and allow what you described). I believe they would considering their stated mission on the site. 
 Woops, wrong account. It's nostr:nprofile1qqsq3v3kr3sqxtmr4zr6wnwc4cjrpn3ksfu7hc30am2vpcfu68jucqqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumrfvecxz7fwd4jszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv572ws3h
