  StripeMeter – Open-Source Usage Metering for Stripe Billing2025 · github.com · ▲5

  We built StripeMeter, an open-source usage metering platform that plugs directly into Stripe. It solves the classic SaaS pain of “why is my bill higher than expected?” by giving both developers and customers real-time usage tracking with live cost projections. Why it matters: - Transparency: Customers see exactly what Stripe will bill them (within 0.5% parity). - Exactly-once guarantee: No double billing, ever. - Fast & scalable: Sub-minute freshness with Redis + Postgres counters. We’d love feedback from SaaS builders, especially if you’ve struggled with Stripe’s metered billing. Does this…

  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. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
