Conxole Braindump

Hey guys, good to see everyone here. I would like to share something that I have been working on recently. I will attempt to lay out below the 'why', 'what', and 'how' of the idea (codename: Conxole)

What am I trying to build?
I'm trying to build "something" that helps improve the overall user experience in the lightning space

How do I plan to build it?
Marrying LNBits + WebLN + Mobile Deeplink + 'Room structure'
In other words, a platform that could host multiple lightning activities, where any WebLN supported wallet could seamlessly participate in these lightning activities. Participants interact with each other by creating 'rooms' or joining existing 'rooms'

Why do I want to build this?
If the goal is to push for global lightning adoption, the strategy I'm taking is to expose lightning for what it is good at - small and fast payments ⚡️

To expose that to the public, we need lightning services to be highly accessible and lightning payments to be easily executable

For lightning services to be highly accessible, we need to "inject" lightning into our daily activities. Placing food order with sats, operate jukebox with sats, cutting a line with sats, you name it. For that to happen, we first need to make it easy for anyone to build, manage & host all kinds of lightning activities. Also, wallet users should be able to easily join these lightning activities

For lightning payments to be easily executable, we have to first revise the most popular method of executing a lightning payment in-person at the moment, that is - scanning a bolt11 QR with a camera. Can we do better by skipping the camera altogether? What if two strangers in-person could repeatedly bounce sats off each other with just clicks of a button?

Solution:
build, manage & host lightning activities (LNBits like platform)
joining a lightning activity (mobile deeplink that lightning wallet understands)
transferring bolt11 without using camera (WebLN + Room segregation)

That is it for now. If you find this interesting, or dumb 🙃, please feel free to let me know. I intend to do another writeup that goes deeper into the technical side of things. Let me know!
