The Phoenix wallet[0] is actually quite a nice LN solution. When I tried it out it gave me similar feelings of excitement as when I first got into Bitcoin.

Reading about the Lightning Network gives me a headache in general, but Phoenix manages to hide all the tech stuff. I think my old parents would be able to use it.

And it solves one LN problem of having to have bitcoin for opening a payment channel, you can simply install the wallet and start receiving bitcoin.
