I really appreciate this list. It's cool to see how people work, and I'm sure the folks building the services you're using appreciate the kind words. I also had kind of a strange reaction to it, which I tried to figure out, and I'll explain it in case it's at all representative of other reactions being posted here. I think it's just kind of intimidating to read a list of SaaS someone else uses. After reading the whol…
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…

Would I love it if my entire company could live in Github? Sure! But fully half the company is composed of folks who will never, ever log in to GitHub.
And don't get me started on issues. For personal stuff I'm GH all the way, but for planning a year's worth of development? It just doesn't fly. I'm looking at Linear now because I dislike JIRA's UX, and GitHub/GitLab both are too lightweight for my needs.
As someone who is beginning to live in financial spreadsheets, I'm damn well happy to pay for SaaS that totals less than a FTE dev and also allows my entire company to move faster as a result. Like, not even a question.
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.
Heard this one before. "Netflix is $10/m, so why would I buy Mailbrew (the product we make) for the same price?" Apparently hundreds of people are happy to pay for quality indie software that solves their problems. We are among them.

"Netflix is $10/m, so why would I buy Mailbrew" No, that's not the argument being made though. The argument is 'why is a team of 3 paying 3x$10 to 'schedule meetings'. There's only 3 people, i.e. a reasonable questioning of the value being made. Honestly, $10 is not that much, but why on earth would it be needed is a fair question.

Time, energy, attention, creative limit is important for a tiny startups like this.
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.
Confirmed on an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 14.2. Not a true restart for me, but it does kick you out to the lock screen. Crazy.

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.
Last time I worked with (on?) a payment processor we got special credit cards that worked like Stripe's test numbers for testing production. I.e. some cards would go through, others would fail with errors specific to each card number. They were probably one of the most closely guarded pieces of equipment we had since the cards that cleared did so at any merchant so it'd work at point of sale but the vendor would neve…
