THIS GUY PAID $118 FOR CLAUDE MAX AND WHEN SUPPORT IGNORED HIM FOR DAYS HE SERVED A FORMAL LEGAL NOTICE TO ANTHROPIC'S OFFICE

paid for max, had issues, and contacted support.

got the classic AI bot loop and no human ever responded

so he drafted a formal legal notice and served it to anthropic's office himself

the funny thing is that he also used claude to draft the legal notice.

this is only one of many legal actions against anthropic this month. for example, an EU subscriber already filed a formal complaint under consumer protection law

a billion dollar company charging $118-200 a month with zero human support is becoming a pattern

their support bot is useless, their response time is days, and now paying customers are (finally) lawyering up

at some point anthropic has to decide if they want to be a premium product with premium support or a premium price with startup tier customer service

right now it's the second one

@levelsio Classic crypto bro scammer / douche bag type. Unsurprising that Bankless supporting these kinds of people

@ryancarson Markdown wins on speed and efficiency.

HTML is not good for readability without a CSS stylesheet.

Lastly removed some surplus padding between demo and pricing sections (especially important for mobile), so less blank space between sections.

[Daniel @daneasterman]

Also added the "Pay with Credit Card" CTA in my pricing section with a credit card icon.

Also to make it clearer for the user and distinguish from the pay with Bitcoin Lightning option.

[Daniel @daneasterman]

Some small design tweaks today: made it clearer in the hero button CTA that the button will just take the user down the page (with the down arrow) to see more detail on the pricing:

Just added "For your AI" feature for the @python_starter docs so you can now feed your AI with the detailed instructions from the docs (in markdown) and it can complete all the steps for you! 🎉

Got 1.4k view on the Bitcoin Lightning reddit group and Reddit is saying its my 3rd best performing post of all time! (Bronze medal ain't bad).

But despite all this, still no sales yet for @python_starter . Lucky I'm starting a new job next week!

But I'm not giving up yet - will keep improving the product and making content to showcase its capabilities.

This is nuts. UIs are going to change forever.

[Daniel @daneasterman]

My Reddit post on adding Bitcoin Lightning payments to @python_starter in r/lightningnetwork was the 3rd most upvotes I've received so far on Reddit!

[Daniel @daneasterman]

Just launch PythonStarter - Bitcoin Lightning feature on Product Hunt today!

If you can give it an upvote that would really help this project a lot! Thanks 🙏

Two groups can't use credit cards: the 1.4 billion unbanked people around the world, and AI agents calling APIs.

Neither can pass KYC. Neither has a bank account.

But both can hold a Bitcoin Lightning wallet.

Last week I added Lightning to @python_starter - any Python dev or vibe coder can now ship a Flask web app payable by both.

Check out the video demo to see the Lightning payment process in action:

1.4 billion adults are unbanked. Most have phones. But none of them have access to Stripe or a credit card.

Last week I added Bitcoin Lightning ⚡ payments to @python_starter - Now anyone with a phone and a Lightning wallet can pay for your product, from anywhere in the world.

Incidentally, the same technology that opens up more of the world to your services, also opens up a whole new world of customers - AI agents.

As @freddienew mentioned recently on @PeterMcCormack podcast: an AI agent also cannot pass KYC or get a bank account. But they can use a Lightning wallet.

Don’t you dare give up.

What it's like to vibe code my new Bitcoin pay feature:

"Alors en code"..

[Python Starter @python_starter]

@BuildWithxAI @sickdotdev Ok will check it out!

[Python Starter @python_starter]

@BuildWithxAI @sickdotdev That’s cool, what’s your monetisation strategy?

[Starter Story @starter_story]

Wow... this SaaS product does $218K PER MONTH

Why it sells: Bundling.

It replaces typeform, calendly, docusign, stripe with ONE tool.

Crazy numbers:

> 2.2M visitors/mo
> 10K paying users
> 100% bootstrapped by wife-husband duo
> MVP built in 3 months
> Made $100K on launch week

Hint on a new feature coming soon:

@levelsio @AzFlin Unfortunately this is bad for indie / 3rd party app developers as you become so reliant on those platforms for distribution, and hard to get the general public to care about your indie web / mobile app
