Bitcoin On The Web
summary
Workshop demonstrates practical stacks that put Lightning payments directly into web apps, showing the Albi browser extension and how WebLN or LNURL fetch invoices, then LSAT’s LSAT macaroon+invoice flow (macaroon + invoice → pay → pre-image) authorizes access over HTTP. Shows a Go/Gin middleware alternative to Lightning Labs’ Aperture so servers can verify payments without running a node, and a music storefront demo where WebLN returns pre-images to unlock downloads. Claims work in production (Loop uses LSAT) and cuts UX friction.
