Are there options similar to what Brave is doing: adding a Tip button on sites like Reddit, Github, etc... (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/5040)
but for #lightning ?
An extension would be rather simple, I guess the challenge is to know the LNUrl for a given user.
Yes, the little buttons showing up automagically makes it nice in Brave, users learn to spot the button and it makes it nicer to tip than the traditional sponsor system.
That could be a fun project. I need to look into that unless there is already an alternative.
I think Brave knows who is participating since users signup for being a "publisher". That should be trivial with Alby, if you parse my profile's "social" accounts, you can see Alby. That could be the signal to trigger some buttons.
So the trick is mainly to decide where the info can be store publicly and parse that.
