Interesting pricing model, and it seems the pain of Sentry is getting real those days. Many folks need something simpler, that just works. Totally support the idea.
The alternative starting with a G has been mentioned a few times already, so I'll also mention that's been operating in the space and that I happily use : https://www.bugsink.com/. It's trying to solve the exact same pain.
Disclaimer : I know the owner :), so I may be biased. But generally I like to see more niche alternatives to the massive players in the field
Please don't hijack competitors' Show HNs to promote your own thing. A single mention is arguably ok, but beyond that it gets too be too much, especially when related accounts are involved or it crosses into multiple threads.
It works out because sentry has basically gone full solarwinds. Trying to get rid of the small accounts because they only care about the enterprise market anymore
I guess I’ve got a lot of resentment for when I suddenly paid for 100k reserved errors suddenly that I didn’t remember asking for. I probably figured out I have control about it at some point and that’s why I decided to not do the Schlepp of changing the error reporting on all these small projects.
So while I can actually corroborate that your cheapest plan has not changed my takeaway is that changes to billing just make people unreasonably resentful. At least me.
> I had a running service written in htmx for some time. It is a clinic opening hour service to inform my patients when I will be available in which clinic. (Yes, I am not a programmer, but a healthcare professional.)
-> that was pretty freaking cool to read, loved it
also chuckled at the idea of my website making, health professional going all "What the fuck." in front of his codebase.
what was taken from you? point to the source history that's been removed please. It's funny that stuff like this means people won't ever develop in the open. Hope that makes y'all happy
The way we intend to make money is off of merchants in the future. -> Is this on the website? Couldn't see it anywhere and that makes it a big nono for me
No, the landing page communicates customer fees (which are 0 for peanut to peanut flows and pass through for banking flows). We're very transparent with any FX or fees users experience.
I'm not quite sure I understand the logic of mentioning future merchant monetization plans on the landing page?
Currently merchants get kind of shafted by VISA/Mastercard. Not only do they have to wait until they get their funds (sometimes even up to two weeks!), which is horrible for a business where cash flow is important, margins low and float very tight; they also pay huge fees on top!
Depending on geo, these fees can go from 1-3% (total) to >6-8% in geos like Argentina and Brazil (and even worse in some other places). That's insane.
Whilst stablecoin & blockchain adoption is not fundamentally impossible for Visa/MC (see this post for more info https://x.com/uwwgo/status/1973038511897923848), it is still a very long way off, and we expect to be very competitive, especially with sovereign nations pushing their own alternatives that we interoperate with (PIX, Mercadopago, DUITNOW, MB WAY etc)
Well, as a potential end customer, I want to know why I can trust you. You product is free, and you're handling my money. You telling me your revenue model is through merchants gives me the confidence you're not gonna pull me a weird one.
Could be as simple as "But how do you make money then" in the FAQ.
Was so excited about Remarkable, and got disappointed with basically everything I was excited about. Not for me. I do look like the look and feel of the thing though, shame i know it won't fit what I need.
As someone who was hiring recently and received 350 irrelevant generated applications within 3 hours of opening the position form people using the same techniques you described, I disagree.
Ended up closing it altogether and use my local network instead. Found people in a couple weeks with much higher signal to noise ratio. I hate it because it gives less chances to people out there, but it was just too much randomness.
I was recently hiring for software role in the USA. It's pretty similar. Receiving that many applications is actually great, especially if you know how to go through them all. I'm efficient at it because I've worked as a recruiter for 20 years and a developer for 11 years. Happy to expand if you want to know more.
"I wrote this entire article in the Claude Code interactive window. The TUI flash (which I've read is a problem with the underlying library that's hard to fix) is really annoying, but it's a really nice writing flow to type stream of consciousness stuff into an editor, mixing text I want in the article, and instructions to Claude, and having it fix up the typos, do the formatting, and build the UX on the fly.
Nearly every word, choice of phrase, and the overall structure is still manually written by me, a human. I'm still on the fence about whether I'm just stuck in the old way by preferring to hand-craft my words, or if models are generally not good at writing.
"
Either he's lying, or you're wrong.
Agree on the structure part. I mostly read it as a piece from someone who's having fun with the tool. Not a structured article for future generations.
The notoriously opaque EU institutions would sooner insist on reading your every message than actually be transparent themselves. This is beyond satire.
Not quite changed, but I also realized that I pretty much cannot afford to just plain skip it and refuse it. So I go along, and use it where it makes sense.
Still pretty sure we're about to lose much more than we'll win overall though.
