lightning-terminal VS specter-desktop

I like RTL, services like loopd for channel rebalancing or if you're so inclined, the whole lightning terminal package. I love jochen's mempool explorer (source code) when estimating fees. I use blockstream's block explorer esplora (source) for my block explorer. There's so many fun tools out there I can't even come close to naming them all.

You can for example use it to run specter-desktop (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) on top for example, to use your hardware wallet with improved privacy or even mix them together to create multi-sig setups.

Also, the functioning of your hardware wallet isn't dependent on this corporations still existing. There is various free and open source software that lets you manage your hardware wallet, and even combine them to make multi-sig wallets (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) . This lets you access all information via your own Bitcoin node, no third party system required, fully decentralized.

Take a look at Specter Desktop (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) , which is a web interface for Bitcoin Core that lets you use basically every hardware wallet directly with your node.

Alternatively you can purchase multiple devices from different manufacturers and create a multisig wallet that requires multiple signatures from multiple devices. Wallet software like Specter-Desktop can help you with this. They also have a DIY signer https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-diy

What you can do is to use one or more of this hardware wallets with your own node and a software like specter-desktop (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) on top. This way you are completely self sufficient.

It is most likely an issue that is solved in the upcoming version of Specter; you might be interested in trying this prerelease, or wait for the official release: https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases/tag/v1.13.1-pre1

Specter runs in Electrum, but you can technically set it up to be run through a web browser, as long as you're hosting the service yourself.
