lnbits browser extension

Light browser extensions for LNbits. It allows users to connect to any existing LNbits server and make payments in the browser. It supports:

• BOLT11 invoices
• LNURL Pay
• LNURL Withdraw
• LNURL Auth

This extension does not require for the user to configure a Lightning Network node or to manage Payment Channels. The look and feel closely follows the lnbits.com style.
