"I get the same joy from coding that a painter gets from painting. A painter that can paint what, when, how, why and where they want is likely happy. A painter that has to paint what other people want on a schedule is often just struggling to pay the rent. They develop a toxic relationship with their art, and that's sad." Love this quote Pete!

Same - for most of us, the technical execution is the easy part. Whenever I have an idea nowadays, I try to figure out a couple distribution points and also get some early market validation before getting started. Read more about the Lean Methodology :)

Love the concept as I was looking at an API for this :) might be cool in the future if you guys can do re-sizing/cropping in the future too.

I agree - that would be an awesome follow up post to garner more insights into getting the start-up from day 1 to selling it :)

Re:Trying to figure out Stripe, which apparently is easy, but not for me.

I finally got around to checking out Stripe after reading this post. Their documentation is pretty spectacular IMO.
- https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/forms - https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/charges
Was pretty much all I need to get started (I'm using one of their third party wrapping for .NET)
I guess it might get slightly more complicated if you are doing recurring billing or customers but their standard template should be sufficient for your needs at this stage. I pretty much took this example:
1) https://gist.github.com/1750361#file_stripe_tutorial_page.ht... 2) Pulled their API wrapper (they have PHP library) - I think the only part that needs updating is your API key 3) Followed their example listed on the page
and everything worked. Let me know if I can help further!
