Experimental Projects @Stripe

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

Been working on this over the past few weeks alongside an incredible team. Really excited to see it out in the world. Still early but looking forward to seeing how people use it and where we take it next.

Introducing Stripe Directory, a new way for you (and your agents) to search for businesses on the Stripe network.

[Miles @miles_matthias]

Here's me walking you through our new Stripe Directory and how we see it being used! Check it out and send us feedback: https://t.co/QJdwhIidJ2

When @karpathy built MenuGen (https://t.co/2OjrUJ3aLS), he said:

"Vibe coding menugen was exhilarating and fun escapade as a local demo, but a bit of a painful slog as a deployed, real app. Building a modern app is a bit like assembling IKEA future. There are all these services, docs, API keys, configurations, dev/prod deployments, team and security features, rate limits, pricing tiers."

We've all run into this issue when building with agents: you have to scurry off to establish accounts, clicking things in the browser as though it's the antediluvian days of 2023, in order to unblock its superintelligent progress.

So we decided to build Stripe Projects to help agents instantly provision services from the CLI.

For example, simply run:

$ stripe projects add posthog/analytics

And it'll create a PostHog account, get an API key, and (as needed) set up billing.

Projects is launching today as a developer preview. You can register for access (we'll make it available to everyone soon) at https://t.co/1tSgGbSLxM. We're also rolling out support for many new providers over the coming weeks. (Get in touch if you'd like to make your service available.)

🆕 stripe-terraform is now available!

Manage @stripe resources as code: versionable, reviewable, and easy to diff over time.

[Joe Walnes @joewalnes]

A few weeks ago, our team decided to build a requested end-of-year recap for users to celebrate their year on @stripe and share it with the world.

Soooo anyway, we jumped on it fast, and it’s now available to a small group of US businesses in the Dashboard. We’d love to hear what you think. If you like it, we’ll do more next year!

[Stripe @stripe]

Available to a small group of US businesses today: Stripe YoY, a new way to see your 2025 by the numbers—payments volume, customers, MRR, your biggest day, and more. Want to see this next year? Let us know.

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

Excited to share what our team has been working on!

My favorite demo from Sessions today (slightly edited thanks to an SMS fail — if you know you know 🤦).

With the Order Intents API, you can spin up a commerce agent in seconds.

I moved to Mastodon and stopped checking Twitter once third-party clients were banned. I was following some accounts via RSS, but that’s likely going away now too.

You can find me at https://t.co/YRKLqSw9L4 and you can join using this link (expires Feb 9) https://t.co/nFBJjYXtsn

@stroughtonsmith You’ll still come out ahead of AT&T’s $10/day to use your domestic plan abroad…

FWIW, https://t.co/q4svNRE3pz is a great resource for info on prepaid data SIMs for pretty much everywhere in the world.

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

@Stammy @KEHcamera I used them last year to offload some old Canon and Oly gear and was happy to get 80% of the self-assessed quote for 0 effort. If you’re willing to invest some time taking shots of your gear and writing a post, you could probably do better on the https://t.co/Q4GDD1pUTJ forums.

@viticci @_alexguyot I might be a day late but I just put this shortcut together to import/export Wordle stats. Works with Classic (if you can still access) or NYT: https://t.co/2SBtLDn126

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

@rjonesy Yes, by forwarding to TripIt 🙈

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

@daringfireball @gruber In the early days of SMS in the US, you could only text with people on the same carrier. Interop was added in 01-02, so too early to have made a difference in how it all played out, but another difference between US and the rest of the world. https://t.co/1HBMy3aIHY

Been in meetings all day but just saw the news that there’s a brand new social network called Meta and it doesn’t have any of the downsides of Facebook. Where do I sign up?

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

@collindonnell You can replicate most of HEY’s functionality using Fastmail. It’s a bit rougher (both the apps and the flow), but also easier to use a single service since it can import/fetch from other email providers, unlike HEY. I followed @pietvanzoen’s guide here: https://t.co/LyCGDyRRMM

DMB at The Gorge 2021 Night 2 #dmb #dmb2021 #thegorge @ The Gorge Amphitheatre https://t.co/BvgYDFiLyo

[Martin Gordon @gordonmb]

@chucker Ah yeah, totally forgot that. IIRC it was a bit short-lived though? Don’t recall the exact timing of Reader v2 and NewsGator’s switch to Reader for sync.

But yeah, sharing was a killer feature for me. The good parts of Twitter with an RSS item as the core post element.
