Here is an added bonus for my HN friends: I created a video showing exactly how I built (and released the source code) the Stripe Platform connection:

This is a fun site, nicely implemented, and a subject close to my heart.

I can't help but wonder why some Show HNs get 50 points easily and others languish in indifference with none. Perhaps the key is the poster's network rather than site quality?

Glad you like the site!

I am starting to think the same thing about HN. :( Maybe it is time time of day I am posting things too?

Nice idea, i am still waiting for the day stripe will come to the UE, or at least UK. That will be a day to celebrate.

Thanks a lot! You aren't alone. I sat in the Stripe campfire room for many hours while developing the connectivity and that question was asked by a lot of different people during that time.
