Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my open-source project called bitcoin-sdk-js. In my opinion, one big barrier for developers getting into Bitcoin is how tough it is to work with. I spent years trying to wrap my head around Bitcoin tech, and honestly, it’s still a challenge. For those who aren’t tech-savvy or new to crypto, even doing a basic bitcoin transaction can feel overwhelming. If you search for "bitcoin smart contract," the first thing you’ll see is people asking if they even exist... lol. That’s where bitcoin-sdk-js comes in. It’s designed to simplify the process of creating different types of bitcoin transactions (legacy and segwit) with ease, even advanced smart contracts like multisig, hashlock, and timelock, or combos of them. You can easily generate various opcode script templates to send and spend bitcoin. Plus, being a JS project, it works great on browsers and mobile devices, too. In version 0.3.2, it covers most of the major features you’d expect from a bitcoin client library, including support for Taproot. I’m planning to add PSBT and other features soon to make it a complete bitcoin-js library. I’d appreciate it if you could report any bugs or drop a pull request. Thanks!

Thanks for creating and sharing your project. And while i'm not developer, do you know existence of Minsc[1] or Miniscript[2]? Both allows developer to create Bitcoin script with less difficulty. And does your project support Taproot? [1] https://min.sc/ [2] bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/

Yes, I know it of course. Those are great projects I love to use, but has a bit of complexity which is not easy for crypto-unfriendly dev. Other than that, those are more like new programming language for Script itselt. My library is utility library which aims to be used within application context!
