I really appreciate this answer and meant no good to Alby in general, just I like open source software!

What do you mean by "Mostly" Open source? I dont mean that in a bad way, im just genuinely curious! ((this perhaps is connected to the text I write in the next parragraph I imagine, If not, please let me know!)

So, In order for me to use Alby in a non custodial way, what I would need to do is to run my own lightning node Im I correct?

Wow I really appreciate this message! Gonna zap you some sats for that as I respect a lot what you just did! All the best for you all in your endevours!

You can check on our github, we are open-sourcing almost every code that we use.

Yes, to use lightning in a non-custodial way you need to run your own node - there are few solutions that make it easier for a new user, but this is not super convenient for most.

You can use our open-source extension to connect to lightning node of any type, and its custody is up to you 😉

Thanks Alby. Im sorry I made some assumptions out of ignorance. I have been propperly schooled and humbled. Better research next time before emiting such a blanket statement.

Im just a bit traumatized from the "big tech" approach to the management of our data and Im a bit allergic to non custody of my data / assets.

I wish you good luck in your journey
