Since Cash App is mostly US-based, is there any good place where people can spend their bitcoin through lightning besides on Bitrefill(or any giftcard site)? Bummer that buying on Amazon using Lightning+Purse.io would've been sick.

It started with Squares, to Blocks and now it's Spirals  Cheesy
I see they are hiring a lot of people and not just for Spiral, but they recently posted job requirement for new hardware wallet they are making.
Jack Dorsey is very serious about Bitcoin and I have to say that I like him more now, than before when he was head of Twatter.
I think he even created special fund to help Bitcoin developers get deserved donations/paychecks.

Interesting thing about Spiral:

Almost three years ago, Block CEO Jack Dorsey said

Quote
“We don’t think it stops at buying and selling [bitcoin]. We do want to help make happen the currency aspect.”
there were plans underway to integrate the scaling technology with Square’s Cash App.

 - The Lightning integration is made possible by the Lightning Development Kit created by Spiral[1], which is funded by Block.
 - Cash App customers will also be able to send bitcoin to any compatible wallet that accepts Lightning Network payments.
