  If you’re on tech twitter you may have noticed an increasing dissent with Stripe and it’s DX. t3.gg (Theo) summarizes it best: “IMO, the biggest issue with Stripe is the "split brain" it inherently introduces to your code base. When a customer checks out, the "state of the purchase" is in Stripe. You're then expected to track the purchase in your own database via webhooks. There are over 258 event types. It's far too easy to have a payment be failed in stripe and "subscribed" in your app.” We've built an OSS abstraction to build any pricing model 1 line of code. The idea is a layer over…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
