Stripe closed my account – no notice – my LLC was registered using Stripe Atlas

I resell travel eSIMs data plan under my brand. I have 3DS enabled and strict Stripe Radar rules and backend logic to limit fraud. Last dispute I received was 7 months ago. Still, suddenly today my account closed. I did appeal and reach out to support through multiple channels via email and X.All payments by my current customers are being rejected. You can imagine how hard it was to attract customers in the current hot eSIM market.My LLC was registered using Stripe Atlas so they already have all

Show HN: Unfudged – version every change between commits - local-first

I built unf after I pasted a prompt into the wrong agent terminal and it overwrote hours of hand-edits across a handful of files. Git couldn't help because I hadn't finished/committed my in progress work. I wanted something that recorded every save automatically so I could rewind to any point in time. I wanted to make it difficult for an agent to permanently screw anything up, even with an errant rm -rfunf is a background daemon that watches directories you choose (via CLI) and sn

Prepaid vs. Postpaid Mobile: The cost breakdown nobody talks about

I spent years assuming postpaid meant better service. It doesn't. After finally running the numbers I feel genuinely embarrassed about how long I waited to switch.Here's the actual breakdown nobody lays out clearly:The postpaid trap: Major carriers charge $60-80/month for plans most people don't fully use. That's $720-960/year. The service feels premium because of the branding and retail stores. The network underneath is identical to what prepaid customers access.Pr

Show HN: Made First Android game using Codespaces and AI, now in AdMob purgatory

Two months ago, I had zero mobile development or publishing experience. I wanted to see if I could build and ship a complete game using only a browser-based workflow and AI assistance.The process:Built entirely in GitHub Codespaces using an AI Copilot.Wrote the core game for the web, then wrapped it into an Android APK/AAB.Pushed through 100+ versions to fix edge cases.Passed Google Play review with no policy violations.The game is a tough 2D platformer called Bionic Biome.

Solving email problems for startups and SaaS

Email is still the backbone of user communication — onboarding, activation, billing, and retention all rely on it.Yet, most startups and SaaS teams still struggle with it.Not because they don’t send enough emails — but because they don’t fix the problems that make emails underperform: Poor deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC nightmares) Low open and click-through rateDisconnected automation across toolsNo real segmentation or behavioral logicLack of clear reporting on what’s driving convers

Show HN: oosh – Annotation-driven CLI framework for Bash

Hi HN, I built oosh because I was tired of rewriting the same flag parsing, help text, and completion logic every time I needed a bash CLI at work.The initial idea came from 9 years ago: https://gist.github.com/bruno-de-queiroz/a1c9e5b24b6118e45f4..., and it's pretty simple: annotate your functions and oosh gives you flag parsing, help generation, tab completion, and type validation for free. A scaffolder generates a full CLI project in seconds.```bash #@flag -e|--env EN

Show HN: Idea-reality-MCP – MCP server that searches real data before you build

I kept wasting hours building things that already existed. Asked Claude to help me build a food delivery app — searched GitHub afterward, found 847 similar repos with 12 competitors over 1k stars. 6 hours wasted.So I built an MCP server that does the searching before you write code. It scans 5 real-time sources (GitHub, Hacker News, npm, PyPI, Product Hunt) and returns a quantified reality_signal (0-100) with actual evidence — repo counts, star counts, top competitors, and pivot suggestions.Exam

Show HN: OneSentence – An offline macOS voice utility built entirely with AI

Hi HN, I’m sharing OneSentence, an offline voice utility for macOS (M-series). I built this for two reasons: first, I wanted to see how far I could push cheap AI, and second, I wanted to use this utility. The idea was born out of using Emacs packages with Whisper to dictate to my machine. I had found it effective to simply speak and articulate context to coding agents. OneSentence does four things well: privacy, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and template insertion.The development process was p

Ask HN: Does "task-derived JD and evidence-based candidate" make hiring better?

Hello HN,I’m testing an idea: generate JDs from real engineering tasks, then evaluate candidates against those tasks using code evidence.Instead of writing “5+ years X, Y, Z”, input is actual work context:- GitHub/Jira issues - linked PRs and code diffs - review comments and discussion timeline - change size, dependencies, and failure modesFrom this, the system generates a structured JD, for example:- Problem Scope: what must be solved - Required Skills: APIs, infra, debugging depth, testin

Show HN: CodeLeash: framework for quality agent development, NOT an orchestrator

Hi HN,I built my first project using an LLM in mid-2024. I've been excited ever since. But of course, at some point it all turns into a mess.You see, software is an intricate interwoven collection of tiny details. Good software gets many details right; and does not regress as it gains functionality.My bootstrapped startup, ApprovIQ (https://approviq.com) is trying to break into a mature market with multiple fully featured competitors. I need to get the details right: MVP quality w

Does journaling help people understand themselves long-term?

I’ve been thinking about journaling as a long-term practice and wanted to ask people here about their real experiences.Many people journal regularly — writing about daily events, emotions, decisions, or reflections. Writing itself often feels helpful in the moment, but I’m curious about what happens over longer periods of time.After months or years of entries:* Do people actually gain new self-understanding from journals? * Do you revisit old entries and notice patterns in thinking or behavior?

Andrew Peek: How your personal narrative limits your future

We all love to tell personal stories of adversity and triumph, but how do they prepare us to navigate an unpredictable future? Entrepreneur Andrew Peek believes that our life stories limit us. "Are we wrapped in the warmth of the story we've been writing for decades? The further we are into a story, the less likely we are to want to rewrite it."...
