Private full nodes serving headers to a handful of weak devices have been 
mentioned many times as a good solution against all sorts of problems in a 
future full of LN + SPV nodes. I agree. It should be therefore a top priority 
to make the UX of connecting my mobile LN client to my home full node extremely 
easy, so that centralised services can't improve much on that step. Especially 
if I already run a full node.

Could someone briefly describe how this UX looks currently? And if it's not as 
seamless as it could, what blockers are there?

Best,
Orfeas
