Feature Request: Preconfigured LN node configurations

[apotdevin]

I would like to add the option to start with a preconfigured LN. For example starting a circular, star, balanced or unbalanced network. Maybe have a hosted config file where anyone can contribute with other ln node configurations

Hey @apotdevin, I just merged in PR #203 which adds the ability to import & export networks. This should allow you to create the preconfigured networks and load them in Polar whenever you want to start fresh. Hopefully, this suits your needs. I still have to put more thought into the hosted scenario, to figure out the best place to store the zip files as well as decide if the configs should live in this repo or another. I'm open to suggestions if you have any.

@jamaljsr @apotdevin do you guys have any preconfigured network zips to share?

BTW Preconfigs are great! Just would be cool to get some to try out

Hi @baebb, I personally don't have any to share, but I agree that it would be cool to have some sort of online repo to load community created networks into Polar. It's not something I am actively working on at the moment but I would love to see this built eventually.
