Update: Keep going on my new app. Got a few trials already, but the trial-to-paid conversion rate sucks. Still trying to get the first paying user.

You decide whether your product should have a free trial, not the KOL. You decide whether to grow through organic TikTok, not the KOL.

$1K MRR sounds hard until you break it down. Charge $30/month and you only need to convert roughly 1 paying customer a day. Suddenly it feels a lot more achievable.

A free trial with a required payment method helps qualify users instead of attracting endless free users.

Most users of my app said they discovered it through ChatGPT or other AI tools. The weird part is: I have zero visibility into how OpenAI is surfacing my app. Why isn’t there an AI version of Google Search Console where devs can submit and manage their apps?

a user tells me they found my app through a friend. No ad beats this feeling. Best feeling ever.

@BrianMRey Yeah. Last time it only took one day for my app to go from submission to being ready for distribution.

I think we're in a chaotic transition period right now. People are still arguing about whether AI-generated code needs review, but models are evolving fast. In the foreseeable future, this won't even be a debate anymore.

POV: Wake up — your site went viral. But not from the US. 😄

Lately, SEO and ChatGPT have been bringing me some solid traffic. Writing one blog post a day really adds up over time. Organic traffic grows slowly — but it compounds.

Building a US LLC as a Ukrainian founder in 2026 be like: Stripe Treasury: no (even through Atlas) Mercury: no Brex: no Not because of anything Ukraine did. Because compliance teams can't tell a founder in Lviv from one in occupied territory, so the whole country gets the same answer. I get the logic. It still feels like being sanctioned by your allies.
JR Farr@jrfarr

After we announced Treasury, users are asking when it will be available in their country. Well, we just shipped something @Atlas founders have been asking for since day one: a real financial account that works, no matter where you live. Now with Atlas, you can try Stripe Treasury with a stablecoin-backed card. Send and receive money globally in dollars. Get a virtual card. Built right into Stripe.

@SebastianRoehl So... it is 'vibe coding -> blocked -> vide coding'? 🤣

New rule: When I'm blocked waiting on AI to finish a task for the main project, don't open X. Open Codex. Vibe-code something useful (or useless doesn't matter).

@leilavclark @stripe Feels like this is becoming more of a skill though — something you can already approximate with AI using Stripe as a reference. Stripe’s API docs are public, so AI tools can already learn from them.

weird move by @stripe. feels very off-brand 1. why the vercel.app url? you couldn't get an engineer to set up a subdomain? 2. why charge $2 per API review?? Something like this is obviously decent leadgen. + stripe can afford to detect abuse (in fact they *sell* a fraud detection tool!)
michelle 👻@hazelcough

Stripe obsesses over API design. For Stripe Sessions we turned our well-worn API design principles into an app that reviews your API for $2. We liked it so much we’re making it public for 30 days. api-reviews-by-stripe.vercel.app

The requirements are stricter than I expected: 1. Your business physically operates from an address within the United States and that address can’t be a PO box, highway contract box, or private mailbox. 2. Your business has at least one account representative that lives at an address within the United States. That address can’t be a PO box, highway contract box, or private mailbox.

One thing I wonder is how you do accounting for this? I guess not so different, cause you still just account your expenses and your income, but the main balance just becomes Stripe?
Marc Lou@marclou

So @levelsio was right: Stripe launched Treasury It’s like Wise but with your stripe balance. You get - bank account details - balance transfers - credit cards All with your stripe balance So you can pay friends and invoices without a bank

@justddev @bas_fijneman Maybe you can query the DB with a cron job once a week to keep your project alive?

@bas_fijneman They do it by default to every project in free tier if it’s not active for a week

2 months ago this app had 0 users and was shut down by supabase now: - almost $500 in total revenue - over 400 monthly active users - still growing every day it’s not easy but it’s definitely worth it
