Specter Integration
With our newest v1.8.x release there is the possibility to integrate via extensions. Components which are client-only are specifically easy to integrate. I spend about 2h creating this. I don't had a joinmarket-dev-env running so this might even not work at all and i'm also not very familiar with react.
Here is a gif showing how it looks like. In the README.md at the very bottom, it's described how to get it to run.
What do you think about such an integration? Would it be interesting to collaborate here?
@k9ert can you explain how this integration will work in detail, from the user's perspective?
To be honest, i don't know yet. One the one hand side, this is not much different than an integration with the node-providers (umbrel/rapsiblitz/...). It's also for now not addressing the deployment/operation of joinmarket itself (I just came across the docker-setup just now). Specter from that angle is just a way of shipping the software to the user. We had some discussion about security concerns but i think i've found a way to overcome them with a piggiback-extension. If we would keep it like that, one possible user-story would be like:
- The user is downloading one of the specter-apps for his platform (windows/öinux/macOS)
- The user starts specter
- Like in the above animated gif he'll find the joinmarket-WEBUI in the extensions
- He can use it right away if he fulfilled the other dependencies
- There is somewhere a button which brings him back to specter
- The idea with the "embedded mode" is not possible in piggyback-mode but the upside would be that the amount of work is much lower and our security headaches are also lower (we have some concerns with npm from a security perspective).
Potentially, we can do more integrations even if this stays a piggyback-extension:
- We could pass Bitcoin-Core credentials to the webui
- Ups, that's a short list
Maybe let me explain/discuss in the next devcall.
Thank you for the background info.

Sounds good! Looking forward to it!
