#122Is Stripe's "documentation stack" open-source? I've seen Slate and its derivatives, but honestly nothing really comes close to the full (amazing) dev experience their docs provide.

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…
God, I haaaaaaaaate PayPal. Not as a dev, but as a casual private user, a real-world entertainment venue business owner, an online retail business owner, an eBay user, a seeker of capital loan sources, and just a UI and customer service utilizer. If ever there was an example of a company with "first out of the gate" advantage leading to such a large head-start that theyy could afford to constantly give the middle fin…

#124Stripe 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.

Foursquare API [1] is pretty good too (if you're still doing the location thing)

It's the main reason why Stripe has taken a chunk of PayPal's business. We still have to use PayPal's API since most people, especially overseas are aware of PayPal.
We had dedicated PayPal liaisons and they recommended we use a product API that wasn't fit for our task. Just goes to show even their employees can't make sense of their products and documentation.

Add eBay to the second list. We are still uploading XML documents.
I second that, eBay API is hot garbage and their staging is years out of date.

Is there anything like Privacy.com, but for Canadians? I really like the idea of being able to have per-service burner cards
Not an ideal solution but you may want to look at prepaid credit cards. In my case, I use USD prepaid cards via CIBC for SaaS subs. https://www.cibc.com/en/personal-banking/prepaid/cibc-smart-...
Gift cards are getting a lot less useful now that merchants can auto-reject them by setting the "this is a recurring payment" flag. All newly-issued gift cards (in the US at least) reject those transactions. Even if it is a payment that recurs zero times.

I swear it honestly seems like PayPal tries to make their site as hard to use and bloated as possible. I've never personally used their API, but if it's anything like their site, I'm thankful.

I felt that way until I needed to prepare for the new EU credit card regulation that came into effect a few months back and implement Stripe's update for it. There's a bunch of gotchas in the transition - e.g. you can't apply coupons when creating subscriptions with the new checkout flow (needed to handle 2FA), "sources" and "payment methods" show up in the same list in Stripe's UI, but are not fetched by the same AP…
I heard developers saying this in real-life as well about SCA (Strong Customer Authentication).
