Feature Request: Warning Notice for Swaps with Already Established Channels

Hello LN+! I love the service that you’ve created. I’d like to make the suggestion of an additional feature. 

Would it be possible to display a warning label on each liquidity swap signup page indicating whether or not a member already has established channels between nodes that have agreed to participate in the liquidity swap?

Sometimes members do not realize that their node has a channel open with another node before signing up for a swap.

Alternatively, would it be possible to move members that sign up as Node B, for example, to the Node C placement if it prevents against redundant channels?

Thank you!

Thank you for the ideas!

On the first one: YES. I will do it. It's coming soon.

On the second, it only makes sense for Squares and Pentagons, not Triangles, because C would be connecting to A anyway. I will instead perhaps allow the swap creator to optionally block people joining who are already connected. Still thinking about the best UX for this problem...

Wow! Thank you for implementing the change! I’m shocked by how quickly you were able to implement it! With people like you on our side, there’s no way Bitcoin or the Lightning Network could ever fail. Thank you!
