I was posting the same thing a couple weeks ago

In short, for BTC, lnaddress and keysend. Each has trade-offs.
lnaddress is nice bc it lets people specify a human readable, username/domain "email style" reference, that can be looked up to get the wallet address. this lets people provide their lnaddress, and potentially change the wallet address it directs to later.

@martin keysend still works as it did back in the beginning, I believe.
A key difference between keysend and lnaddress, is that keysend lets you send metadata with the payment, but lnaddress does not.
lnaddress does however, allow you send a memo, and so some apps are now hosting their own "boost metadata" endpoints, and including a link to boost metadata in the memo of the payments.

So keysend adoption appears to be fading, while lnaddress adoption is rising.

@martin as for Podverse, we've been talking it over, and we don't really want ownership responsibility of payment metadata, so we're looking into if there's a way to bridge these worlds. Continue using the lnaddress metadata format other apps are using, but look for an opt-in declaration by the podcasters for where they want their metadata sent.

I've been thinking about this and I know even know what to tell you guys tbh. TLDR Alby isn't "free" anymore and we need an alternative and it's not going well. We've been looking for an alternative for years and well doesn't look like one really exist.
Good news is that Alby still does it all and more but requires resources from the users.
Since you guys are talking web I think just using the Alby extension is still the way to go.

I've been building stuff over the past few months and started with Bitcoin Wallet Connect and add stuff to it. It supports Alby and other wallets but they don't really work for what we're doing yet.
I had Claude do a summary of what I used when build stablekraft.app that's been my catch all for this stuff over the last few months so I hope it helps.
