Reading up on Stripe

This is the most exciting time in history to be a solopreneur: - Claude Code to build - Stripe to monetize - Fastlane to market - Posthog to understand usage This is insane 👇

introducing, the @stripe directory: from the cli, people and agents can search for, and pay, businesses on stripe. > stripe search "serverless postgres database" - payments between two stripe users are free - includes mpp and projects services - join by creating a profile =>

We are excited to announce that developers and agents can now provision the same mail-routing intelligence that powers postalform to enable mailing workflows in your own projects! Stripe Projects can automatically create your account, workspace, and let you set spend limits so you can get right into developing. Add mailing infra to your project today with this command: stripe projects add postalform/mail

@postalform

every hit product in the past few years could have been made by an established company shopify could have made cursor airbnb could have made claude code stripe could have made lovable everyone will have good reasons as to why but remember amazon made aws

@thdxr

Agentic commerce works flawlessly when combining Browserbase + Link (@stripe's agent wallet): - Browse CLI explores the site & fills in order info - Link CLI detects the card form and spins up the payment request for me to review No x402 setup. No MPP flows. Zero configuration

my solo business @postbridge_ is at $35,000 USD monthly recurring revenue (MRR) = ±$48,000 CAD for my canadian friends and me here is main breakdown of major costs to run atm - i'm wondering if i should focus on decreasing at all... maybe im overthinking it. @supabase database and storage = $860/month @vercel web hosting = $130/month @triggerdotdev backend processes = $400/month @unkeydev API management + backend host = $250/month @X API = $250/month other smaller recurring costs = $60 /month . . . TOTAL INFRA COSTS = ±$1,950/month profit margin on gross revenue = ±94% net profit margin after stripe fees = ±88% my AI bot says dont focus on cutting costs btw, but my frugal self still dreams about no monthly big bills for some reason

@jackfriks

I told @jrfarr I make money off Stripe's 0.4% invoicing fee I told @jeff_weinstein one of my 24 Stripe accounts has a -$2K balance Yet they flew me to San Francisco and offered me a non-alcoholic Guinness. @stripe is one of the rare big companies that doesn’t enshitify and actually cares about its customers.

🏆 For the first time in a decade on @Stripe I've started winning disputes with my vibe coded dispute responder I used to ignore disputes so I almost always lost them, now I've started winning, this one is the first big dispute for $1,199 USD! Whenever a dispute comes in, my site gets a webhook notice from Stripe, it then starts collecting evidence and generates a PDF with entire user's details, when they signed up, and most importantly what they did in the app In this case the user used the app for months, generated thousands of photos then tried to get the money back from their bank The evidence has to be REALLY detailed, and REALLY good, which is why it's perfect to vibe code it, you can get quite detailed with different types of users and activity on your app, and put that all in the PDF I'm shocked because I again I never would win disputes before People in US especially abuse the [ chargeback ] or [ dispute ] en masse, unlike the rest of the world, it's easily built into their banking app next to every transaction, so it's one tap to get free stuff. And why not? You get free stuff! It's destructive for business owners like me on many levels, if I get over 1% disputes on my account, I risk getting shutdown permanently by Stripe, Visa and MasterCard, like permanently for life, not just my business but on my personal name too, it's ruthless Disputes are also super expensive for business owners: you don't just pay back the amount they disputed, for every dispute you pay $30, which you only get back if you win! But with AI we can now create our own tools to fight back against dispute abuse and finally win! 🎉

So @levelsio was right: Stripe launched Treasury It’s like Wise but with your stripe balance. You get - bank account details - balance transfers - credit cards All with your stripe balance So you can pay friends and invoices without a bank

We just released a new marketing site and I wanted to talk through some of the changes that we made and why. Design thinking is the other side of the feed, it's usually more nuanced than the flashier parts and typically doesn't hold up as well to a quick scroll. Doesn't bode well for this thread! But, this will be my attempt to talk through the changes made and why. First up, this is our new hero. At @loops, our goal right now is to be the only platform you need to email your users The H1 matches that intention and the subheader reinforces it. We also wanted it to be clear we ship fast and often, so we added a pill showing the latest featured changelog. Agents are part of how people build software today, so we wanted to give that the second most important placement on the page, right after signup. Finally, the logo strip should not distract too much, but it should still help people understand these are users, not just logos. So we added the date of first payment from Stripe next to each logo. Next up, more things!

@frantzfries

Ok I managed to make the code generated interactive so every idea is really becoming an app now Obvious next question, why not just generate every idea automatically and add Stripe to it and launch them?

People keep saying AI coding agents can only build basic, cookie-cutter apps. I decided to prove them wrong. For my first major public demo, I spent some time pushing @Replit 's AI agent to its absolute limit. The result? I rebuilt macOS entirely on the web. No templates. No imported UI libraries. 100% vibecoded using natural language. As the AI Chief of Staff at Replit, I spend my days building enterprise-grade platforms for our internal teams, but I wanted to see how far a solo developer could take a passion project just by talking to an AI. What’s inside: 💻 A functional VS Code replica with an integrated terminal and multi-agent AI copilot. 🔌 Custom MCP servers hooked up to fetch, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and GitHub. 🤖 A rebuilt "Siri" that actually controls the OS -changing wallpapers and opening apps via voice or text. 🕹️ Parallels Desktop running Windows XP, Ubuntu, and games like Mario Kart. 📱 AND... I asked Agent 3 to turn it into an iOS mobile app in one shot. It actually worked. The ceiling for software creation has been completely blown open with Agent 3. And 4 those who know... greater things are coming soon :) We are way past basic web apps. What are you building? 👇

It took 512 days. This is the hardest thing I’ve done. The analytics market is ultra-competitive, and users perceive data as a vitamin, not painkillers. It took 9 months to grow DataFast to $3k MRR. It was so slow, I thought about giving up many times in the first year. I tried a million things, but these 3 really moved the needle: - I built DataFast for me. I forced myself to ask: “What do I really need?” That’s how the analytics + Stripe angle came up. In other words, I niched down. - I polished the onboarding like a madman once I realized 90% of people who signed up didn’t do anything. Fewer steps, faster AHA moment. You’re a drug dealer, and your users are craving. Give them dopamine ASAP. - I built shareable features. I added 𝕏 mentions on top of the traffic chart, built a real-time map, created a stock market app for analytics, and more. My customers did marketing for me. All I had to do was give them a reason to. The hardest part really is the beginning. Once momentum picks up, you’ve already done the hardest part. For perspective, I'm adding more MRR in 4 weeks than I did in 4 months. I don’t know what’s next, but I like challenging myself, so... See you at $1M ARR 🫡
