Stripe 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.

Thanks! We still have a lot of work to do. (Making our integration experience simpler -- now that Stripe's functionality has grown so much -- is an area of current focus. If any HN readers happen to have specific suggestions on this front, feel free to email sebas@stripe.com.)

Hey, from a security angle, can I express my appreciation for how much your team has worked to make security best practices and shared responsibility extremely clear? https://stripe.com/docs/security

Apologies for the hijack, just wanted to say thanks.

Excellent product, fast improvements, best in class API/SDK, and documentation; this was pretty much my summary after extensive research on payment processors. After 2 years of using Stripe, my conclusion is unchanged.

Also, an interesting coincidence that I've just released a case study of Stripe's success and recent $35B valuation [YouTube]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlFAbBvu7hA

This looks really good. It sounds like you won't have to configure tools like ngrok anymore to accept webhooks on a local connection. That's a huge win because with the free version of ngrok your subdomain would change a lot which means having to goto the Stripe dashboard to update it there. It was pretty tedious.

I still prefer to setup ngrok because it allows me to view and replay requests. If the stripe cli supported that, then I'd move to use the cli entirely

Great stuff, wonder if they used any frameworks like oclif or something as a base. Looks extremely detailed, and wow, how do they always launch with such great docs?! Baffling (in a good way)!

Looking through the repo's dependencies (https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli), it seems they are using the GO CLI framework Cobra (https://github.com/spf13/cobra).

One thing I loved recently was finding a small error in your nodejs docs. I tweeted you and had a response within an hour or two that it would be fixed. Please keep listening like this, it’s greatly appreciated!

The best part is that you guys keep the logs for the last events and webhooks you sent with the request and response... this is such a time saver that I can't figure out why you are the only big players doing it.

Hi all! I'm one of the folks who's been working on this for the past few months. I'm happy to answer some questions about the CLI or how it was built (using Go and websockets for pushing data). If you have any ideas or feedback feel free to email me directly too! tomer@stripe.com -- We'd love to hear how you're using the CLI and what you'd like to see in the future.

This is a great improvement! Last time I did a stripe integration it was definitely kind of a painful, disjointed experience.

Hi! I'm Sebastian and I work at Stripe.

We would love to understand what went wrong so that we can keep improving the integration experience. If you are interested in talking to us, please email me at sebas@stripe.com

Fwiw, we kinda had the opposite experience when trying to get them to fix the a11y of their product.

It has been a constant struggle on all platforms to get the stripe widgets to behave correctly.

Since payment is not exactly an optional step in a product, this has been very painful.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

looks like just your regular iterm2 split panes?

alternately, you can use tmux which lets you detach sessions, rotate panes, and configure them in whatever arrangement you'd like! Would highly recommend it :)

Alternatively iTerm2 also comes with a native tmux integration. I personally prefer using tmux on my own but have several friends who prefer the iTerm tmux integration (copy-pasting text is definitely easier).
