The option to set up own Lightning Address

I.m running Hub on Start9.

I'd like to see bespoke MX/DNS settings for domain owners to get their own lightning address eg. myself@example.com

Custom npubs

The pricing page indicates "custom nostr addresses" are part of the Alby Hub subscription, presumably referring to NIP-05 addresses.

It would be pretty cool if Alby were able to provide custom npubs, using something like Rana to "grind-mine" a vanity npub for users who don't have the tech chops to do it on their own.

Definitely a "nice to have" rather than a necessity, but thought I'd drop the idea here, in case it's an easy lift.

Export channel state backup

I have automated backups set up already, but an export feature in the GUI for connection backups would be handy

Spending categories features

It would be great if u can implement a way for us to see how much we spend on different categories like restaurants, groceries , transportation etc

Basically a way for us to budget and see how much we spend on what.

Also would be good if we can put a description on what we bought using Alby Go

Filter transactions in wallet view

I just upvoted a request to delete failed payments, but it may be even better if we could filter those out of the default view.

Having additional filters would be cool. I've been playing around with BitKit and Envoy, which both let you "tag" a transaction. If we could also filter by tags (or by the payment note), amount, date range, etc., that would be a big value add.

More tooltips in the app store

I love the little informational popups you have over the balances. More of those, like in the app store, would be awesome.

Ecash/ Cashu capabilities

Some form of ECash (Cashu) implementation. Maybe even minting.

App to split bills

Splitwise/SplitKitty app but with sats. For example: 3 people go on a trip - person A pays for accomodation, person B pays for car fuel, person C buys groceries at the shop. The one who makes each payment inputs the costs (and unequal distribution if needed) into the app, then the app calculates who owes who and settles it with sats (or just keeps score until triggered manually). If that could be done in an app that's available within Alby Hub, that would be awesome. Alby Split? :)

Please, 🙏 make an Apple Watch app

Please, 🙏 make an Apple Watch app to receive lightning.

After BlueWallet pulled their lightning receive functionality from the Apple Watch and opted for Onchain only, there is no longer an Apple Watch option to receive lightning.

Fedimint back end would be great.

I don't linke self custodial Lightning because the cost and risk to have a 1m sat channel for a bunch of little transactions is way too high. Cashu fixes this which is great that you implemented it.

Fedimint back end would be great. No struggle with expensive channels. I had 3 large >1m sat channels but still failed to send larger payments to my receiver, I want to outsource all of this annoyance to some custodian which should be a federation.

Embedded onchain <> lightning swaps

I would like to have a possibility to swap to onchain in Alby Hub. Today i buy Bitcoin, send it directly to Alby and when i haveat least 1 000 000 Sats, i Send it to Muun and then to my Hard wallet

Warn / confirmation before closing the desktop app

When we close the Alby Hub app on Windows or Linux there should be a warning instead of directly closing the app. I’ve accidentally closed the app a couple of times while closing the other windows.

Send sats from specific channel

I want to use specific channel for sending, maybe even for receiving (turn them off/on for a minute)

I want to "loop out of channels"

I run a Mynode at home on my own hardware and it has something called: "lightning terminal" on it. So when I want to "empty" my lightning channels because I stack using lightning. So I constantly need to move to cold storage I just go to the lighting terminal and do a loop out or if I want to top up a channel I do a Loop in. The service is called Loop when I look at the node's status. it's how I balance my channels on that node and it costs a fraction of what a service like boltz costs. Last year I did a loop out of 20 million sats and only paid about 1000 sats on top of the on chain transaction fee. It can even handle looping multiple channels at once.

So that's what I mean when I say loop I first learned about it reading this darthcoin guide
https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-network-submarine-swaps

and This is I think the loop repository though I have not actually read it
https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop

Hope this helps if there is anything else just let me know

Alby Hub as Flatpak

Alby Hub doesnt work on Fedora, May be if it is possible to make it available as Flatpak, so it can be possible to installed on any Linus Distrubition without the trouble of missing dependencies.

Provide a way to connect to the TOR network

Some nodes live off the clearnet. It would be nice if there was a way for Alby Hub to be able to connect to those nodes in some way.

Static public address for a Hub

As a Hub user I can peer with a publicly reachable node so that this node can open a channel to me.
If I had public IP a node could open a channel to me without me having to peer first.
(based on user feedback)
