@GooglePayIndia It would be great if you add a functionality to add a nick name to each account we add in GPay. Currently with multiple accounts its really hard to choose right account for right payments.

@NotebookLM Loving NotebookLM! Added a few Google Docs as sources, but it’d be super handy if we could open those Docs directly from the Sources tab to review/edit content quickly. It would make workflows much smoother.

@jrfarr @lemonsqueezy @stripe Also, as a byproduct, you’re helping more smaller teams like us to build and ship faster without any payment or license handling hassles. Great to see your journey, JR.

You don’t need a bigger team, you need to move faster. We built @lemonsqueezy with a tiny team. From 2021 to 2024, our team started with 4 people and grew to only 13 by the time we were acquired by @stripe. When I would tell people how big our team was, they almost didn't believe me. This was all by design to move fast. For 3 years, all we talked about as a team was "ship, ship, ship". We even gave it a name, "Lemon Drops". As I look back, I realize all it takes is one thing. In the words of Charlie Munger: "Take a simple idea and take it seriously." 2021 - launch It took us 6 months to design and build the first version of @lemonsqueezy, and we publicly launched in July 2021. We did the normal stuff. Launched on Product Hunt, grew an email list (today we have 175k), and started talking to customers asap. We leaned into Lemon Drops. 🍋 Support for digital downloads 🍋 License key management 🍋 Support for 95 currencies 🍋 Support for payout methods all around the globe 🍋 Released our initial API 🍋 WordPress plugin 🍋 Custom domains 🍋 Lead magnets 🍋 Free trials 🍋 Abandoned cart emails 🍋 Public roadmap 🍋 And we were the product of the year finalist 😻 Our only goal was to find product-market fit 2022 - positioning Our focus shifted to marketing and positioning to keep up with our product-led growth strategy. We focused on developers and over-indexed on beautiful design. We build more consistency around Lemon Drops. We reach our first $1M ARR milestone. Releases: 🍋 New pricing + website changed our marketing positioning completely 🍋 We announced our new email built-in marketing feature 🍋 New pricing release moving us away from saas to per transaction 🍋 SaaS, Saas, Saas we leaned into API expansion and all new features focused on SaaS businesses 🍋 We released migration tools, Zapier integration, and loads of updates 🍋 We ended the year with a bang of our highly anticipated affiliates feature 2023 - product market fit We are now cooking, shipping, and growing between 40%-100% MoM. We end the year at over 1,200% growth. Lemon Drops are now a part of our DNA. Releases: 🍋 @laravelphp + @lemonsqueezy package releases 🍋 We unveil our new Usage Based Billing feature, resulting in insane growth from the beginning of the AI movement 🍋 New lemonsqueezy.js SDK (almost 1 million downloads) 🍋 Introduction of the self-service Customer Portal 😎 Turn down Series A term sheet ($50M+ valuation) 🍋 Release of design customizer for checkouts, emails, customer portal and more 🍋 New @nextjs demo app 🍋 Analytics integrations with Google, Meta and event tracking 2024 - acquisition At this point, the small but mighty team is making some serious lemonade. We have found our stride and reached a point where it's time to seriously consider a Series B or find the right partner. The obvious choice is Stripe. Releases: 🍋 Kick off with a bang with our release of Wedges, a free @figma design system and open-source collection of UI components for @react 🍋 More usage-based billing updates with one-time fee support 🍋 More usage-based billing updates with one-time fee support 🍋 Tax-Inclusive Pricing allowing merchants to include taxes in product prices 🍋 PayPal subscriptions support 🍋 Fresh docs with AI assisted help 🍋 More product fulfillment options with "Product Links" 🍋 July 2024, Stripe acquires Lemon Squeezy 2025 - MoR coming While it's fun to look back, there's still so much work to do. As I continue to settle into Stripe, expect the same old thing from me. We will continue to ship. I can't say much yet other than something big is coming, and it's worth the wait. --- Moral of the story is startups need momentum, not a bigger team. To all the founders out there, get focused and start shipping. Ignore the noise.

@SBICard_Connect Interaction Id: 1-391811533357 — No response received, yet the interaction was marked as closed. Even after escalating to the Nodal Officer and Principal Nodal Officer, still no resolution. Disappointed with the lack of accountability. #CustomerService

@viatravelers Tough time for small independent publishers. This is proved largely by @mediavine ‘s shift in focus—from ads to partnerships with BigScoot hosting and affiliate programs for journey by mediavine. Aimed at offsetting income lost from their partner sites impacted by traffic drops

After a year of silence, I'm finally sharing how our travel publication lost 97% of its traffic - from 1M to 30K monthly readers. But this isn't about numbers. 🧵 Here's what happens when Google kills authentic travel content...

I cancelled all of ColorMagics subscriptions ($1.2K MRR) but now I'm making 2-3x more. By removing all subscriptions it allowed me to make the service completely free. By it being free it makes people come back over and over + share on socials lots. Then we added tons of new pages, for every color combo and tag eg. blue, red, blue-orange, beach etc. This increase pageviews to an average of 10 per visit. Now, we're getting 60K+ pageviews per day. So added a simple ad - and yesterday it generated $127 USD. $127 * 365 days = $46,355 USD per year. Not too bad for a color palette generator!

@jrfarr As a @lemonsqueezy user, I have a request: please add a "reply-to" field in sales emails with the store owner's email. This way, customer replies go directly to the store owner instead of routing through your support team. It would streamline communication! #LemonSqueezy

Hey, hey! I'm looking for feedback 👀 We're exploring some early ideas for the new Stripe Merchant of Record experience. Would love to talk to any existing Stripe users. Any takers? 👋

Sometimes you'll need to merge Word files, like during document automation or collaborative editing. Node.js works well for this, as it allows both client and server-side operations. Here, @vikramaruchamy teaches you how to merge word files using Node. freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-me…

Had a fruitful roundtable with tech CEOs in New York, discussing aspects relating to technology, innovation and more. Also highlighted the strides made by India in this field. I am glad to see immense optimism towards India.
