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.
> We pay for this, even if we are the ones making it, to test our Stripe Integration. This is so important! This can go wrong even at large companies. At Netflix we once had a billing issue and it took a while to even notice, because no one in the company was paying for it (it was just free for everyone), but it looked like just general attrition, not people slowly having failed payments. After that incident, the com…
Actually technically this is prohibited by stripe. They explicitly ban testing your app in production. We have offered suggestions many times to them, but still no feature here.

It's the way the credit system was designed, even before widespread computer networking - based entirely on trust. The customer would bring the card in and the merchant would make a signed carbon copy and call it in or deliver the receipts to the bank every day, which would settle the accounts between banks over a week or so, with the credit card provider carrying some level of liability. This is one of the reasons c…
Presumably, somewhere within the bowels of American Express, there's a test card for testing the Centurion large-payment verification process, where feeding it through a merchant and having them run a verification on it, will get them routed to a mock concierge on Amex's side (or rather, a human concierge diverted to follow a special mock workflow script.)
While I think it's great you're thinking of tools to optimize your time BUT a team of 3 at early stage project/startup level should be a bit more frugal and look for clever ways to save the ~$200/month you're spending right now! I understand you have your own SAAS and want to justify subscription and this is a good promo method. I've written on HN before that I'm TIRED of subscription apps, specially per user subs, f…
Vercel billing per-user is so head-scratching. I think it's a greedy billing strategy.

Do you think FOSS stacks are made of ice? That they would melt if you don't constantly resupply fresh ice from arctic excursions. Surely you maintain your start-up tech on F/OSS, as most of the internet does, so just use the person who types 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' on your service to do the same on your local VM. Or leave keep it local and literally never update it. It wont melt.
> Do you think FOSS stacks are made of ice? That they would melt if you don't constantly resupply fresh ice from arctic excursions. Yes, if you care about things like not getting oWn3d and having your customer data exposed.
The mouth salivates at this prospect.
Yes, please set up your Jenkins server once and never look at it again...
No Atlassian products!
I'd take a pay cut to never have to use JIRA again.

Most importantly it gets you SSO on basic plans for any SaaS. Big companies using Okta or something have to pay for all those Enterprise plans just for that.
> Most importantly it gets you SSO on basic plans for any SaaS. Is that because most SaaS offers "sign in with google"? Or is there something else involved?

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!
> $27/month per user 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.

I'm surprised the payment system is designed in such a way to make that possible
