How the Lightning Network actually works (interactive)bennet.org/learn/how-lightning-network-actually-works/

I built an interactive liquidity puzzle to explain payment routing and channel capacity. Direct link to the puzzle if you want to jump straight to it.

It ended up becoming a full guide on channels, liquidity, and routing from first principles. It's aimed at people new to Lightning, so it covers fundamentals a lot of stackers will already know. Had to strike a balance between giving technical detail and keeping it accessible - feedback appreciated anywhere I've oversimplified.

Thanks @Fenix , appreciate it. This diagram - plus the routing puzzle further down - was the component I built first.
