magic VS stripe-node

We already have several clients that are using our AI chatbot for these purposes - However, probably the best use case is our own software system, which is highly complex, and therefor difficult to initially understand. We get a lot of questions about Magic Cloud, and even though I love answering these questions, a lot of questions can be automated by the AI.

I've got an AI chatbot company, and because of that, I have to somehow relate to Google code. Google code is everywhere, and creating a website without using Google code is almost impossible for these reasons. Google Analytics being one reason, and Google reCAPTCHA being another reason. If you've got a website, there's a 99% probability that your site is running some Google code.

As an additional bonus, it completely eliminates all Postman script kiddies, since the client must be able to execute code to create a valid token. It also eliminates reusing the same token for multiple servers, since each server has their own unique public key - In addition to that you get to market your AI chatbot as "powered by Blockchain technology", and you can actually say that out loud with a straight face, without lying ... 🤪

As an AI chatbot provider, we need some serious bot protection to prevent malicious users from creating bots that attacks us. Google reCAPTCHA of course is "the industry standard" here, which I'm sure most readers are aware of.

I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

After having owned an AI chatbot company for more than a year, I finally did what I'm supposed to do before I even start a company; I did a Competitor analysis - And o'boy should I have done it earlier.

We've got an AI chatbot for instance. On every single neutral parameter it's 10,000 times better than 99.99% of everything else out there. However, at ProductHunt you will have to go to "page 11,670" before you'll find our AI chatbot.

In addition I've got zero contributions to my primary projects. Some guy contributed to Lizzie a couple of years ago, but my primary project has zero contributions. Notice, I happen to know for a fact that there are a whole range of really, really, really rich companies using Magic for instance, some of whom are cashing in millions of dollars in profit every single year.

In addition Magic Cloud has now become a real business model, with a quite substantial amount of revenue, through our AI and Low-Code hosting provider. So to avoid having leeches exploiting our work for free without contributing in any ways, it's therefor with heavy heart we announce that all future releases of Magic will be in the form of closed source distributions.

I have an open source project myself, and I am building an AI and Low-Code/No-Code platform company on top of it. Contrary to SupaBase though, I have spent 4 years creating real value in my platform. The project solves a real problem, it consists of a lot of real innovations, and I’ve spent a lot of time building it.

Before you can start accepting payments with Stripe Checkout, you need to create a Stripe account. Visit the Stripe website and sign up for an account. Once you have created an account, you will receive an API key that you will use to authenticate your requests to the Stripe API.

Next, we will enable checkout and payment processing through Stripe. First, install the Stripe clients with the following command:

Head to Stripe and register if you haven't already. We can use the Stripe API in Test Mode to build the e-commerce app. You can add a bank account and get verified later when you're ready to start collecting real payments.

Stripe published its 2023 annual letter last week. Much like the previous edition it was filled with a lot of interesting nuggets. Stripe has a strong history of being fairly transparent with its practices. These range from engineering challenges through its blogs as well as thought leadership in the financial and entrepreneurship space. I personally like the writing style of this letter as it doesn’t seem corporate or stuffy. Instead it is filled with humorous anecdotes, quirky observations and intelligent historical narratives which make it a compelling read. You can read the letter here → Stripe Annual Letter: 2023

Stripe – payments

Imagine you want to create an API endpoint that allows users to register in your backend, while simultaneously making a payment towards Stripe. This could be for something that's a subscription-based service, where you charge people for access to something.

Our app – Upollo – connects with your app event data (like Segment) and payment data (like Stripe) to analyze your users and instantly figure out if someone is an important player in your industry. We also help you convert more users, reduce churn, and expand single seats to teams within a company. We're SOC 2 certified and we take data security very seriously.

That's cool - my page is still under development. But have you tried running it on something like https://stripe.com/ to see if the generates interesting results. Could share results here? DMing you also
