I am working on Stripe Tax, but do not know Lemon Squeezy so well yet. But something Lemon Squeezy does different are the following: the KYC works different and is more restrictive. One of the differences to Stripe considering we still give you as a merchant the responsibility to be tax-compliant after all (you need to add tax registrations into stripe explicitly). Also think about maybe fraudulent cases, LS must be much more restrictive otherwise their payment provider is blocking them.

One thing which is weird about tax is physical presences in some cases. In some countries, you actually might need a representative to file your taxes. Plus you need to learn how to register in those countries and how to file taxes.

There are probably more things that you need to look up, but that’s what I remember.


We have introduced flat fee pricing recently: https://stripe.com/tax/pricing

MoR for marketplaces basically means merchant of record for Stripe Connect and you, as the platform, take the tax liability via the MoR functionality automatically for your sellers (connected accounts), right?

Mind sending me an email at kevinpeters at stripe dot com? Would love to hear about the use case.


All these comments ask for comparisons. It might be worth creating some alternative pages like podia do [1]. It could be helpful for your growth.

Seems like a cool project!

Hey! OP here. This is really good feedback thank you.


This looks nice and similar to toucan [1]. I have built something similar but a bit different for the web [2]. Happy, to share the code in a non-so-permissive license with you if you plan to build out web support.

Curious to hear the reasoning behind using the US flag for English, given there's a country called England.



If it's written in American English, wouldn't you rather know that from the start? I'd be more annoyed to have all the U's removed after my O's and still see a UK flag.


And you would prefer the English flag then - not the flag of the UK?



As far as I know English is different from English in many ways.

Colour Organisation Trousers

I don't know. Search online.


That's based on relevance.

Same goes for: Portuguese -> Brazil flag; Spanish -> Mexico flag; German -> Austria flag; Italian -> Switzerland flag

;)


It's the 3rd most populous country in the world, and it's filled with English speakers?


If those are the metrics we should be using the Indian flag.


The most import comment ^


It's just marketing guys, think of it as political pandering, more population, more patriotic population(emotional attachment), etc. I'm sure we all agree that America is more linguistically and geographically "challenged"(market potential) than the Brits yeah?.... sooo market where the market is. As for Brazil, that's a sheer population decision. They tried to shove Spain's version of spanish audio translation into the latin american portion of the new world (the thinking I guess was since america loves the british accent in movies... but it flopped.... now Hollywood/movie industry recruits voices from Mexico and other latam countries.


Thanks, I'll take a look!


https://jointoucan.com/ - hope you enjoy it


Just tried Toucan and it can't be disabled on localhost, a major pain for using it during work as an engineer. For those that haven't used toucan, it's an extension that translates words/phrases inline on a page with various levels of replacement frequency and complexity based on your proficiency with the language.


This [1] help article says that it's free. Not sure how much we should trust that though. Did you find a better source?

Not available on Firefox.


Bummer. I was about to give it a try


Nice idea - although I hate having to start from scratch and having to "train" the system to know my level and vocabulary. I think it's a bummer that it's not common to be be able to exchange vocabulary lists between apps.


I wasted 10 minutes trying to find the pricing page. There’s no way I’m going to use an app that deliberately hides the pricing information.


What do you want to achieve?

Some tools:

* Google Search Console [1] honestly * ahref's free version is also quite powerful * KeywordsEverywhere [2] is also pretty great

[1] https://search.google.com/search-console/about [2] https://keywordseverywhere.com/


i want to keep track of where my site ranks compared to other sites for groups of keywords and want to be able to track progress of getting the site to rank better and across search engines… i’m mostly looking for tools that will require minimum manual work, are simple to use and understand, don’t require a team and can automate stuff. of course i will need to tweak pages, that will still be me doing it.

my site is on squarespace.


Free tools work great for traffic. What’s the best way to convert users into paying users after?

I have tried a lot of things for my side project like limited generations of the output and then putting a signup requirement if you want to use the tool more often but people are simply not converting to the main solution.

What are your users main alternative to upgrading to your paid product?


Wondering why they do not use GitHub discussions. Found it quite great to use. Also costs less to maintain raw money-wise.

Any negative opinions around GitHub discussions?

Lots of rough spots. Especially the UI is not great right now but I also could not find a lot of traction so far.

Also: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sheetshortcut/fnbb...

An extension to show shortcuts as a popup for google sheets or excel 365. Never really polished it or created a landing page around it.


Love tRPC. I have built two side projects [1][2] now with it and its just so smooth. When I introduced the tool to some other people I worked with, they were amazed on how fast it is. Usually it takes some time to create frontend schemas from backend endpoints but tRPC is just so fast.

Thanks to the creator. Literally made me a more efficient developer!
