1) There's no branding on the shirt at all. The shirt is shipped from Scalable Press, so I'm not sure what the packaging will say, but I imagine they have something in place for white-labelling.

2) "Passive income" side project, though with all the HN hate it's turning into a bit more scrambling than I'd imagined :).

3) I do ask them questions since I'm a pretty early user of the API, but it's pretty well-documented at this point so I don't imagine you'd run into much trouble developing on it.

Hi! (I work at Stripe.)

While our webhooks are perfect for building things like receipts, we want to make the seller experience for the most common use case as nice as possible.

We do encourage folks to use our webhooks to build receipts for more complex use cases (e.g. if you want to include maps, images, or just in general need a more complex receipt structure for your particular business), but the simplest case is one we can and should provide well for :).

Congrats on launching this!

Out of curiosity, where do other popular ATSes fall in terms of email integration? (Jobvite I think is the popular incumbent?)

Hi! I work on product at Stripe. We're currently working on better API for managing recipients.

However, I can't seem to reproduce the issue you're seeing--could you provide a bit more context? If you change a recipient's bank account, their past transfers will still appear on their page in your Stripe dashboard and when listing transfers via the API and filtering by recipient ID.

Edit: Feel free to PM me as well :). I'm michelle@stripe.com.

Oh no — I'm very sorry to hear that. We try to avoid giving ETAs for functionality in order to avoid having people get stuck like this. (At the same time, we sometimes do indicate when we plan to do something — which does have this failure mode.) But we should probably have been clearer that it wasn't going to happen imminently — want to drop me a line at michelle@stripe.com and I'll see if there's any way we can help?

Make haste! People on Canary had a head start :P.

Also note that currently DataChannels do not support reliable transfer and have a small MTU, so sending enormous files does not yet work. With PeerJS you can send smaller files, but larger ones will take an unreasonable amount of time.

Haha, I'm a programmer who will write 21 nested callbacks no more :). That's enough for me to claim for now.

See, getting value out of Google is something that's learned over time. At the very beginning it was hard to get very far at all with just Googling and when I asked others they pointed me back to Google--some of them unhelpfully, but others showed me how to use better search terms for the subject at hand.

That helped a lot, and I don't resent them for that type of help at all. I'm sorry if it came across that way in the writing.

Yeah I can definitely see how jargon prevents that level of conversation. There's definitely a false analogy in my original statement--there's plenty of jargon in farming and raising pigs as well, but I personally do know a decent amount on the topic so I'm not really a layman in the conversation that I had imagined in my head.

Blog post writer here. I was going to mention this in the post, but I ended up deciding against it:

I'm from Middle America. In Middle America, when you ask a farmer what he feeds his pigs, he tells you what he feeds his pigs, what he doesn't feed his pigs, why he feeds his pigs what he feeds his pigs, how he feeds his pigs, and what sunscreen he applies to their skin.

So it was very weird to me that a lot of programmers didn't like to share their knowledge of programming (except, it seems, when they are trying to impress other programmers).

Check out peerjs.com. Provides a cloud server and has an open source signaling server.

Edit: this is a data solution for now though.
