Hi all! I'm one of the folks who's been working on this for the past few months. I'm happy to answer some questions about the CLI or how it was built (using Go and websockets for pushing data). If you have any ideas or feedback feel free to email me directly too! tomer@stripe.com -- We'd love to hear how you're using the CLI and what you'd like to see in the future.

Super minor complaint, but when I suspend/lose connection for a while and it restores, I have to restart the CLI to resume receiving events.

We're looking into improving the disconnect/reconnect flow! Hopefully will have some progress on that soon.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I also use privacy.com and it’s great. The only problem is that sometimes merchants don’t accept prepaid debit cards (that’s what privacy.com cards are under the hood). So far I’ve had cards rejected by Patreon and AT&T. I still recommend privacy.com though.

Also, DigitalOcean. I'd used a prepaid debit card with them in the past, but they don't accept them anymore.

DO has some decent tech support. I would try to contact them and see if they could accept the card.

Stripe is by far the best developer experience I’ve had in my career working with third party APIs/services. The attention to detail is just second to none, and documentation is a big part of this.

Thanks! We still have a lot of work to do. (Making our integration experience simpler -- now that Stripe's functionality has grown so much -- is an area of current focus. If any HN readers happen to have specific suggestions on this front, feel free to email sebas@stripe.com.)

I love the backwards compatibility that Stripe provides. Thank you so much!

We launched a SaaS product on the 2016-03 API version. Since then[1] the API has basically changed completely around subscriptions (even the top-level objects aren't called the same anymore), to the point it would probably be easiest to just start a rewrite from scratch (which probably would take a week or two). But the fact that the old API continues to work to this day and that we have been able to rely on it and focus on other things has been amazing. New customers get to enjoy the new API while our business continues to chug along with zero modifications to the payment parts. That is impressive from both a technical and from a business point of view, and ensures we will keep using Stripe forever.

[1] Stripe provides a very detailed and customized API upgrade guide based on your current API usage https://stripe.com/docs/upgrades?since=2016-03-07#how-can-i-...

Top APIs I've enjoyed working with: 1. Stripe (Best) 2. Twilio 3. Twitter (Does what it needs to do quickly) 4. Puppeteer (Amazing. Was super helpful.) 5. Google (mostly ok but could be better) APIs I've hated working with: 1. Paypal (the worst - docs are horrible and UI is not consistent with most of the help material out there because it changes all the time. Have you tried their support? That's a beauty) 2. Facebo…

Add eBay to the second list. We are still uploading XML documents.

It's fantastic. Over the last couple of years I think I've integrated our system with at least 10 different payment providers and Stripe's just works. The most useful thing for us though is that their test system works flawlessly. The amount of payment providers I've integrated with now where the test system is totally different / unusable compared to their production system... ugh.

And Amazon sellers API (Amazon MWS). Rarely seen such an inconsistent mess of often poorly documented SOAP-ish calls, that so many external partners base their livelyhood on.

In the Twilio world, I can do something like this, via the command line and their API: - activate new phone number - send SMS from that number - deactivate number I have not ever done that particular workflow , but I could.
