Nothing I like more than a cookie accept button covering half the screen that doesn't work when you click it.

I always thank Europe for this, makes me feel so safe. I don't risk anything when I can't even accept the cookie.

Some of the docs are coming up blank on mobile safari, what I want to know is if its possible to hack together a payment flow a la stripe with dummy data without creating a paid account first.

Isn't it ironic to use a REST API to send BTC vs say using what any cryptocurrency is intended for? To use their native APIs to transfer value. The aim of decentralization is to eliminate that third party but this puts it back. We've come full circle.

99% uptime guarantee is embarrassingly low.

That's nearly 4 days out of service a year with no recourse. This should be unacceptable for any financial service.

4 whole days! They'll never recover from this, right?

If all your customers get sim swapped because you offered 2FA over SMS then it's your fault as a service provider.

Looks interesting. Or at least one step closer to improving access to tooling. I can totally see coin base becoming the de facto platform for this sort of stuff. Not ideal centralisation wise but oh well

Fleek is basically Vercel or Heroku, but for Web3. For those with more at stake, it's probably better to go with a big player like Coinbase.

Didn't Microsoft Azure's blockchain platform fail? It was shutdown earlier this month [1]. How is this different and/or better? [1] https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/microsoft-azure-b...

This appears to be only managed blockchain infrastructure, not all of the other concerns that emerge when actually building an application on top of such a thing.
