Host this on the internet #33

Closed evansmj closed 7 months ago

evansmj commented 8 months ago

We want this to be hosted on the internet so that anyone can use this to connect to their lightning nodes and get information about them.

See if when the app is hosted on a website somewhere, whether we can still connect to locally hosted lightning nodes, such as the startup_regtest.sh nodes in Core Lightning. This would be very desirable. It should probably work since you specify the node address which could be in your LAN.

Try to avoid server-side rendering. It may or may not be possible to disable server-side rendering due to sveltekit-materialui. We want to avoid anything happening on the server so that we can make sure lnmessage (the library that connects to nodes) runs on the users local browser so that it can access LAN nodes. Another reason to avoid the server doing anything is to keep the cost of hosting it down.
