These days in lightning it’s possible to build applications using just APIs. Check out our Youtube it's got some videos from previous workshops where we had some folks from LNBits, Alby, and Galoy talking about how to build using their APIs. What's great about them is that each you can self host. So while building you can use the custodial/hosted services but can move off to your own instances when you're ready.

We have mentorships, and you can also see the other makers who have registered and are looking for teams.

By the way for everyone else, you should still apply, even if you're not a developer. Teamwork makes the dream work baby!
