Stripe.Net VS Electron

Thanks for sharing this! I had done a PWA that displays some revenue forecasting[1] based on Stripe Subscriptions but I found their APIs can be slow[2]. Having that data synced up in a db sounds like a good enhancement so will definitely look into this more.

Sorry to disappoint, but Stripe is not an open source project, nor is it a major release. The reason it's here is because Stripe just shipped a bunch of updates for their open source projects. Someone must have been doing some spring cleaning 🧹 - or is it fall cleaning in the Northern Hemisphere 🤔? Whatever is it, Stripe have a tonne of new updates for you including Stripe .NET 47.0, Stripe Node 17.0, Stripe PHP 16.0, Stripe Ruby 13.0, and Stripe Python 11.0. Each of these is a library for accessing Stripe's API from applications written in .NET, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Python respectively. These are all updates based on changes to the Stripe API and SDK. Click on each one to check out their breaking changes.

In the previous article in this series, we examined how to integrate customer registration and onboarding for Stripe Connect accounts into an ASP.NET Core Razor Page application. To do this, we leveraged the Stripe .NET NuGet package which provides a convenient wrapper around the Stripe HTTP APIs. While Stripe does provide an abundance of functionality through API endpoints, there will be situations that require more than a typical request-response interaction.

I ran into Stripe's API rate limits while developing a revenue forecasting app[1] The metrics calculated requires retrieving two months of charges using Stripe's API, which can result in long loading times because:

*...listing charges (or most resources) can be quite slow as you need to render many objects. The Charge API especially is quite a large object to render and paginate through.*

I like the Stripe API design, and as a follow-on, I tend to like their coding styles and structures. Here's their official Stripe dotnet library - https://github.com/stripe/stripe-dotnet. It's well organized and the code coverage looks good.

New API version released: Version 2022-08-01 of the Stripe API has been released along with major version upgrades to all official client libraries, namely Dotnet, Go, Java, PHP, Node, Python, and Ruby. Read more about breaking changes in the API upgrades section and how to upgrade.

I am using Stripe backend library that you can fetch from here Stripe.net.

Stay compliant with updated KYC regulations: We’ve added future_requirements support to our Java, PHP, .NET, Go, and Node SDKs. This parameter enables developers to know account verification requirements and deadlines.

Stripe has seven main client libraries — Ruby, PHP, Python, Node, .NET, Go, and Java — and we wanted to give junior developers a foundation of broadly applicable knowledge to help them in all of their Stripe development going forward.

I looked into this lately - Discord needs to use the Global Shortcuts Portal to do it properly but how is unclear. Discord is based on Electron which is based on Chromium. Chromium has support, Electron has support since https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/45171 but this seems to be rather unknown and unused. Although somewhere in this API chain keyup events are lost, meaning that only "normal" shortcuts would work but no push-to-talk. There are multiple options for Discord to implement this: implement Global Shortcuts Portal directly, go via Electron global shortcuts API, hook into Chromium shortcuts API, maybe others - with the caveat that some of those don't support keyup events. Vesktop devs are currently stuck in same dilemma: https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/18

Recently I tried Electron app, it didn't work out of the box in Ubuntu 24.04 (AppImage). Turned out some issue with apparmor. It worked if extracted manually, though, but that's a bit of friction for ordinary users, also probably wouldn't work with updater.

I think that's the issue: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41066

Not even sure who to blame in this situation.

The developer who submitted the fix thinks so:

"I need to be clear about this, Electron's "_cornerMask" override was a dirty hack that was made in an effort to fix an ancient issue with corner smoothing."

If you use any electron apps it might be better to wait

I went back to Sublime Text after trying VS Code for a few months.

VS Code is very nice, when it works. My main problems had to do with the extension ecosystem. It felt very chaotic: it was hard to figure out which ones to install to get the functionality I wanted. Updates to Python extensions sometimes caused instability, crashing the editor. And I found it difficult to set extension preferences: the UI tries to be slick but in practice it ends up being clunky and awkward. On top of that, there was an annoying bug on Linux, related to Electron, that prevented the Save dialog box from appearing properly, which... kind of sucks. https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/32857

Sublime is the perfect programmer's editor for dynamic languages like Python, and for general text editing. It's lightning fast. LSP is just enough to be helpful without getting in the way. Workspaces work the way I would expect. I prefer editing JSON files for preferences over navigating a complex GUI.

Best money I've ever spent on a license, and I'll happily renew just for maintenance updates, to be honest.

One of the most loved frameworks around is Electron. It's used for writing cross-platform desktop applications. The latest release brings you navigationHistory extensions, a new handler for unlocking a cryptographic device, plenty of bug fixes, removal of some support, and some deprecated properties in favour of others. If you're an Electron user, check out the release notes so you're up to date.
