RetakeAPI
Hey HN, I built Retake after realizing I was losing ~70% of potential revenue to pricing page drop-offs and abandoned checkouts — and most existing tools required adding heavy client-side scripts just to manage recovery flows. I wanted a simple, API-first way to model intent and handle recovery logic without extra frontend complexity. So I built a small, headless API that acts as a state machine for revenue recovery. How it works (at a high level): Your app sends intent events (pricing, cart, checkout, etc). Retake manages timing, sequencing, cancellation, and suppression. Emails are sent…
RetakeAPI launched on January 4, 2026 with 6 votes, #2,272 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
What it does
Retake is the first headless revenue recovery API. Stop using bloated third-party scripts that tank your Lighthouse scores. Integrate in minutes with our REST API (works with any stack) or Next.js SDK. Track pricing page abandonment, checkout drop-offs, trial expirations—each with different email flows. We handle scheduling; you keep control. Features: BYOK (Resend, AWS SES, SMTP), Full Analytics, Webhooks, & Smart Scheduling. 30-day money-back guarantee.

Retool2018 · retool.com · ▲640Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
Rejourney – Open-source revenue leak prediction for web and mobile appsJul 2026 · github.com · ▲34Hello there (General Kenobi's favorite way to start the conversation), I’m Rashid, a sophomore at UT Austin. I built Rejourney.co (https://rejourney.co/) to predict issues with your apps and websites before they happen, based on real user session recordings. Here is a silly video (with cats) on how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z95MDxBXMjk It’s open source, and the post link is the github repo, but here it is again: https://github.com/rejourneyco/rejourney I originally built this because I had a campus freebie finder app that grew…
RejourneyJul 2026 · rejourney.co · ▲12Hi Hacker News! I’m Rashid, a first-year student at UT Austin and the person leading development of Rejourney, a web/app analytics and session replay tool. Recently, a handful of our users emailed us that they only care about a few user recordings (replays) that show conversion issues, and didn't want to waste time watching all the session replays they got. And no matter how many filters/smart capture rules we put in, the deterministic methods of choosing what to capture always missed important session recordings or overshot and recorded everything. Our users also used other…
RekkoJan 2026 · rekko.io · ▲6Hey 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…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

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
