Lightning Browser Extension

Having lightning available from in the browser offers amazing new possibilities for web apps: seamless payments and authentication just to name the obvious ones.

Currently there is Joule as a browser extension and WebLN as integration specification. Joule only works with LND and because browsers do not support self-signed certificates the integration currently has limitations.

The challenge:

Help prototype a browser extension that can connect to different desktop or mobile wallet applications.

The goal is to have minimal specification that allows the browser extension to connect any user preferred lightning wallet (zap, electrum, mobile wallet, etc.).
