Hey HN, I built a small tool to automate failed payment recovery for Stripe subscriptions. Context: I run a SaaS on the side and got tired of losing customers to expired cards. Stripe's built-in retries help but the recovery rate is meh. I wanted something that would ping customers via email and SMS right when a payment fails, with a fresh billing portal link. It's a native Stripe app so setup is just OAuth, no webhooks to configure manually. Stack is Next.js, uses Stripe's billing portal API to generate session links on the fly (so no expired links). Still early, looking for feedback from…

What it does
Failed payments are killing your MRR silently. Expired cards, insufficient funds, bank declines. Your customers don't even know their payment failed. Rekko fixes this. Connect your Stripe account in 2 minutes, pick a sequence template, and we handle the rest. When a payment fails, your customer gets an email + SMS with a direct link to update their card. Stripe retries. Payment recovered. Unlike competitors (Churn Buster, Baremetrics Recover), we charge a flat monthly fee.

- FRFlyCode – Recover Stripe payments by automatically using backup cards2025 · ▲22
We built FlyCode after seeing subscription businesses lose ~35% of recurring revenue each year to failed payments — even when customers had other valid cards on file. *The problem:* When a customer's primary card fails, Stripe retries a few times then cancels the subscription. If that customer has a backup card, it isn’t tried. At least 20% of active customers have more than one card on file, which means a lot of preventable churn. *Our solution:* FlyCode automatically identifies if a customer has other valid cards on file and retries them when a subscription payment fails. You can configure…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
