Interesting, still checking this out. It might be great for remote team building too.
I spotted a small misspelling: “Pass the conversation to someone who has been quite”. I think it should be quiet.

I wasn't aware of Jitsi - I really like Twilio but Jitsi's ability to self host elevates it to another level.
Re:Ask HN: Would one need domain expertise to build a startup in fintech?

While it is advisable and recommended it isn't absolutely necessary.
A strong math and tech background will help you get started building the nuts and bolts portion of the project. A vivid sense of curiosity will help to pin-point problem that you can attempt to solve.
Many of the APIs might require you to register a company but they don't require specific domain expertise to get started. Once you have an MVP you can pitch it and gain partners that have domain expertise.
Great question and good luck!
