I think this is credit card company policy and not specifically Stripe. IIRC, there is some language regarding using your own credit card because it could potentially be used to give yourself a loan. Credit cards have a much higher APR and lower limits for a cash advance. Processing your own cards could be used as an avoidance.
How is this different from withdrawing from an ATM with my C/C ?
If you go to that Linear one’s site on an iPhone and zoom in really fast on their image of the todo list client, it immediately restarts your phone.
Linear looks fascinating. We’re using Zenhub now and it’s slow and misused in our org (one giant project board instead of separate boards per repo / project). Curious if anyone here is / has used linear and could compare their experience with it to Monday, Asana or Zenhub?
Linear is free to use for a modest issue count so it's pretty low key to try it out for a project with your team if you want to compare it. And if you end up switching, we have open source import scripts available: https://github.com/linearapp/linear-import If you end up trying us out and need help organizing your team, feel free to contact me jori@linear.app
SavvyCal looks interesting, but for a "lean operation" can you really justify paying $12 per month per user for a service to schedule meetings? All of GSuite starts at $6/mo, and already does this.
Right. $27/month per user for email filtering and meeting scheduling seems absolutely crazy. While I applied the idea of supporting other small startups, lots of the items in this list seem frivolous!
How does this even matter from a budget perspective? You are already paying probably in the $10-20k / month range for per-employee salary.
Seems a lot like complaining about a dripping faucet while you have a water main break.

This is questionable advice. 1) Any SaaS that actually provides values is probably worth 10-100x what it costs. Of course, it doesn't mean they all provide value. There's a mistake in your comment ('we stopped using them and didn't miss them') which is the assumption that SaaS doesn't provide value, which is obviously not the case. Good tech is an amplifier - that's why it exists. You're telling the farmer don't spen…
My issue is that value based pricing sets up incentives against one of the coolest parts of software and digital goods- near zero marginal costs. Software is kind of magical in that once produced it doesn’t cost much to add a second or billionth user. Of course SaaS has more costs, but not nearly as much as the “charge 5% of value” or whatever. So I think it’s foolish to not buy tractors and till the land by hand, it…
It's the reason you can try 100 services for free before buying. The challenge is, to find things that really work for you and that do provide value.

We have quite a bit of SVG animations behind that image so might throw a curveball on Safari

I've always heard that, for the US, when thinking about salary you want to about double what the employee makes when considering the employers cost.
This is overkill, add 35% to the top and you will be closer (depending on absence/sick levels). Statutory allowances in the UK are higher than in the US, and in the UK for instance you would add: - 12.5% national insurance + apprentice levy - 3-4% pension - 10% of days as holidays - 5% of days as sick / other leave (dependent on amount taken in reality) - 2% payroll fees / other Note, this excludes training and equip…
Shhh... you can do almost all of this on Github private repos for free. Tasks and issue management, wiki, kanban board, discussions, ci/actions to trigger other stuff (send notification email for e.g.), storage of docs, revision control, tagging and organization, notebooks (with code too!), static hosting, support tickets, and so much more with Github API/webhooks :) Startup of this size shouldn't be spending a dime…
Your comment seems to echo a fairly common refrain in this submission, that a startup should be miserly with their cash. What's the disconnect, I wonder? Why is there this belief that an early stage startup should pinch pennies? Am I missing something? For me, time (to spend building and selling) is substantially (like 2-3x or even higher) more valuable than cash at this stage. Am I undervaluing cash?
