Apple imposes a 30% transaction fee on in-app purchases through their iOS platform and I'm using Bitcoin Lightning to solve this.

I integrated Bitcoin Lightning payments into Alignment Premium using our company website to silently accept payments and unlock premium for users outside of Apple's ecosystem.

No middleman
No toll booth
No platform tax

The result:

Instead of Apple taking a 30% cut, that value goes back to the user through a 30% discount on premium when paying in sats.

This is the future: Builders and users connected directly through an open network.

Excited to build on Nostr⚡

passing the apple tax savings directly to users as a discount is the right move. most devs just pocket the margin difference. the nostr+lightning combo makes this cleaner than any other stack we've seen for this pattern.
