amboss.space is awesome, big kudos for making LN better.
Do you think there is enough demand and user base to create a project related to the LN that can be bootstrapped?
I work for VC funded traditional startups and although we've been successful, doing well in YC and StartX, I am a bit tired of their business model: create something, make it viral, get bigger investors, and so on. So in my free time I do some hobby BTC/LN related projects.
Seems like a lot of projects are still in their infancy or discovery phase when it comes to LN (Amboss and stackernews being exceptions as they run smooth like butter with no bugs and very sleek UI/UX).
It seems that there is a lot of room for projects. If you have any ideas that can fill a promising gap that you can share I'd be happy to hear them!
Thank you for the kind words! Lightning is extremely open for innovators and builders. A big barrier in adoption of lightning is the UI/UX with tons of promising projects already in existence. Just by being a user and providing feedback provides tremendous value.
With your experience in startups, you may be able to help others that won't be as prepared when speaking with VCs. Translating what bitcoiners are working on to traditional investors is a really hard task, but those that can recognize the scale of the opportunity in lightning will benefit tremendously.

That's true, the expertise from traditional industries could prove quite valuable. Thank you for your reply!
