slightly restless, and sharing what I build from it 🏗️

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

every payment provider says no hidden fees

then you read the docs

and they do indeed have hidden fees

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

stripe: 2.9% + €0.30 (you own tax)

stripe managed payments: ~6.4% + €0.30 (MoR)

paddle: 5% + €0.50 (MoR)

lemon squeezy: 5% + €0.50 (MoR, Stripe-owned)

creem: 3.9% + €0.40 (MoR, also seems to get rid of hidden fees that other platforms have)

apple: 15%

play store: 10%

revenuecat: ~1% on top, unifies platforms

one credit balance

I need to just figure out what way to go 🤯 any experiences?

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@picoito nice! seems you've had a lot more days in the past 2 days than I have had 😅

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@sonofearthx gotta get this out there man! let's go

@ClimStefan was looking at this just a few weeks ago, and was put off by the commitment

seriously going to open up some doors for indie devs

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@darekgusto yea, it just becomes more about who's got the least impactful hidden fees, and which feel less shady as some point 😅

@heyalizaid 6 years of shipping > 6 years of planning

the road to year 7 will be wild

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@heyalizaid @polar_sh I'll try "AliSentMe" as a discount code just in case you get sponsored in the meantime 😅

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@init_bobjames looked into this, unfortunately they dont act as a MoR, so I'd be afraid too much time would be spent working out VAT rates, and conversions for the moment

thanks Bob!

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@themoneygps handling all vat in-house or are you using their managed service?

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@heyalizaid @polar_sh polar is looking very interesting, thanks for pointing this out 👌 hoping to one of these sorted EOD

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@AjayCodeWiz knew you'd be in the loop with this Ajay! only worry for Dodo is their international payment and subscription fees +1.5%, +0.5

but it does also have great country coverage

also do they have a payout fee?

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@init_bobjames about a week, would probably take months if I was looking today though 😅

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@AjayCodeWiz 100% set up some serious GitHub actions for checks too

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@ThePrimeagen I just subtract the numbers

opus (4.8-4.7) = 0.1

which is a positive number, so it must be a positive improvement

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@init_bobjames 🤣 mine can't take 2 chome tabs without overheating at the moment

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

34°C in Nantes
10 builders
1 villa

shipping hourly

rumour has it, no AC until you launch

[Thomas Sanlis 🥐 @T_Zahil]

Today, for the Uneed Residency, we're launching two amazing products on Uneed

👉🏻 Writizzy, the best blogging and newsletter platform you've ever seen, fully made and hosted in Europe.

👉🏻 ScreenshotTwo, the best screenshots API, way better than ScreenshotOne @DmytroKrasun

Who will win the first place 👀?

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@Sebalg_tech real take on this 👌 these benchmarks aren't reliable anymore

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@web3devop 5.6 🤞🤞

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

congrats to opus 4.7

promoted to legacy within 43 days

struly inspiring career trajectory

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@giordanorandone missed this

[VanillaCache @VanillaCache]

@giordanorandone absolutely, either of these dropping will be 🤌
