    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 made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
