A Stripe widget that tells you how much you can safely pay yourself

I built this simple Chrome extension to always see how much I can pay myself based on my Stripe income. So now when I open my Stripe dashboard, I always see how much I can pay myself. How it works is pretty simple. You create a read-only Stripe API key (this key stays on your laptop), the widget gets the last 3 months of your revenue to calculate an average, and then you can specify your monthly expenses and adjust a tax and buffer %. Then you get a nice card that shows you how much you can pay yourself this month. It's fully open source under an MIT license. Please let me know if you have…

    I built a 1‑dollar feedback tool as a Sunday side projectDec 2025 · onedollarfeedback.com · ▲21

    I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30/month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users/moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.

    Keep track of earning expenses better than excel sheets2011 · ▲33

    I started to track my expenses on excel sheets earlier this year. It was interesting to see how much I spent casually on just another hangout with friends or on education. Excel sheets are painful, at least for me. So I built this with my friend: (it's just MVP) http://accountant.besperk.com Edit: Coming up next: > Mobile site and apps asap. > Graphs and reports > SSL > Custom Alerts (when you cross a certain limit, that you define, for certain tag) > Pre populated tags.

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
