v1.8.0 Bram Cohen

In this release we add Alby Go to the Alby Hub App Store! Alby Go is the easiest way to use your lightning node on the Go, and works great with your Alby Hub.

Alby Hub has also had some UI improvements for using on mobile, and updated copy in the friends & family app after our calls with some early users who were happy to give feedback. Thank you!

Finally, the Alby Account is now optional. There are many awesome features that come with the Alby Account, so we still recommend connecting your Alby Account for most users!
