A dummy NWC wallet given to developers means they can vibe code apps with NWC wallet functionality without touching the lightning network (not even testnet!) OR even having a lightning wallet.
I want to explore this further, if there's a good experience here then we could really bring vibe coders to use lightning rather than some shitcoin option.
It's my next thing to experiment as part of the "Alby Agent Skill" which now enables agents to 1-shot lightning apps properly - the only thing devs are missing is a way to use it without having to get a wallet first. See https://github.com/getAlby/alby-agent-skill/
For some reason the NWC connection doesn't work for me when the tab is open. I tried the Alby (nprofile…x6g9) Extension, Super Testnet (nprofile…vq7c) 's NWC Tester or Brick wallet or The Bullish ₿itcoiner (nprofile…65kl) 's bullishNWC.
quotingThis was more fun then I thought it was going to be.

Built a dashboard app that lets you run a fake NWC wallet with whatever information you want. its really fun to connect it up to Alby (npub1get…0nfm) Go or the other NWC tools i built and see the transactions and create fake invoices 😁
Are there any other apps that support NWC that I should test this with?
