Why react-lightning?

I've been tinkering with Lightning Network integrations in my web apps for a good while now. It's a blast, honestly—there's something kind of thrilling about bringing Lightning payments to life in a project. It feels like unlocking secret levels in a game, where each level is a cool new use case. But let’s be real, it can be a bit of a grind sometimes, especially when you're on your umpteenth time piecing together yet another QR code modal.

That's what nudged me to start putting together a TypeScript package. Think of it as a little toolbox, one that's packed with all the neat tricks and patterns I've pieced together while messing around with Lightning and React. I'm hoping it'll save us all some time and let us skip straight to the fun parts.

Here's How You Can Contribute

I'm sketching out a basic roadmap for this little side project of ours, figuring out all the bits and bobs that should be in there. But here's the thing—I've got my blinders on like anyone else. I bet there's a ton of cool stuff I haven't even thought of.

Your insights and input are invaluable. I invite you to contribute by proposing feature requests on the project's repository. Together, we can ensure that this TypeScript package is comprehensive, versatile, and equipped to accelerate the integration of the Lightning Network into many web applications. Every suggestion or piece of advice helps make this toolbox not just mine, but ours—more complete, more user-friendly, and a whole lot more fun for the next person who comes along wanting to build something awesome with Lightning.
