Introducing Alby Contacts List

Project Overview ⚡️

Lightning addresses allow users to connect identity with their payments.

We can make use of this to allow users to create & export profiles and save lists of contacts and creators that they interact with frequently.

We decided to add this feature to the Alby open source wallet!

Built with React + Typescript.
