    I run a saas and we get this every now and then. As a rule of thumb, when you get a chargeback you need to completely ban the customer from your db. This includes: - card ban - ema…

    Literally had a similar experience with X today. Was browsing when all of a sudden my account got suspended for no apparent reason. This was a premium account too, and I had last p…

    Tangentially, if you're looking for an open-source alternative, Operational.co will fit the bill(I'm the founder). Only major difference is - Operational is meant to be integrated …

    Those "magic variables" have caused more pain than being helpful. - Added 8 variables inside docker-compose, only 7 get recognized - Why my docker-compose works locally and not on …

    Had the exact same experience. Incredibly clunky UI/UX. For docker-compose, I had to create a specific one for Coolify because it goes and does its own magic. Tried Dokploy(similar…

    Ghost is good for blogging and newsletters. But that's the problem. Wordpress is used for much much more. You can use it as a CMS, LMS, news platform, saas platform, and much more.…

    Can relate, I've been in a similar boat running a small B2B Saas over the last 2 years. It does get easier over time. I've learnt a few tricks for managing early stage pain points.…

    Very candid experience - I love it. I've been in a similar boat running a small B2B Saas over the last 2 years. Over the years I've learnt a lot of tricks in this area. - You need …

    Technically speaking, Stripe has nothing to do with this(since they are the middle man). I'll telling you this because I recently won 2 chargebacks against amex bank. In the appeal…
