In my previous post, I suggested that more services software should be built with lightning as the incentive system.
@nerd2ninja suggested that I start building myself, after thinking about it I've decided that I should at least attempt to learn how to do it.

so what's the purpose of this post?so what's the purpose of this post?

1.suggestions:1.suggestions:

• I want to ask for suggested resources and advice, Rust was suggested as many lightning projects use it; do you think its the best for this purpose? Or do you have a different suggestion? (And I understand I can google myself, but if there are some suggestions from experienced people it may save me some time).

2. To see what your thoughts are on:2. To see what your thoughts are on:

• what decentralised services might have the best impact (search, compute, storage, something else?).

3. As a sanity check, to answer:3. As a sanity check, to answer:

• would any of this actually be helpful? Or am I just beating a dead horse?
• I'm really a noob, I've only built basic web apps and super dumb bots before, am I going in over my head?
• These have already been built but you haven't heard of them OP.

4. As a log:4. As a log:

• I want to give a weekly or bi-weekly log of what I'm learning and the small programs I build along the way, this might be useful for someone later on if I do manage to actually build something.

5. Any other criticisms, eg:5. Any other criticisms, eg:

• you shouldn't post about this stuff here!
• you are too dumb clearly.
• insert useful criticism
• you don't have the write attitude, etc...

Thanks for reading, now give me some of your thoughts!
