Yes, but sender is not required to use Strike. Also, it's Strike API, not Strike app, but API details are not public, likely you will be able to link your account with other wallets too. With LNURL it should be possible.

I really like all the new things that keep popping up, like Lightning Address, and the lnurl protocol
The Lightning Network will make Bitcoin one of the most useable currencies for transactions. Change my mind.
1 project | /r/btc | 4 Sep 2021

The lnurl protocol makes things extremely smooth and nice. Also you can use Lightning wallets for authentication, and so many cool things keep popping up all the time, like Lightning Address so that you can setup a payment through lightning to any "internet static identifier" like an email, telegram username, whatever.
What are the smallest, easiest thing we can do to support Bitcoin and lightning?

This faucet uses one of the new protocols for lightning, lnurl, and it makes the transfer of Bitcoin with Lightning literally as easy as clicking a link.

Okay if custody of your own coins is priority for you, and you don't want to run a node straight away, I guess my recommendation is Zap Desktop. You can also get it from its github page. Basically it's running an lnd node in the background, but it presents a nice GUI as a front end.

My reply to people who tell me to “just use lightning”

There are various wallets for the desktop, but I never used one. I think Electrum has Lightning intergration, there is also Zap (https://github.com/LN-Zap/zap-desktop) I use a https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz with Zap mobile wallet connecting to the node for payments (there is an app and desktop version).
money stuck in Zap?
