News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Thank you, but I still don’t understand how to operate this.

I created several products in Stripe for the business of SaaS 1 website, and also created several products for the business of SaaS 2 website— which is a completely different one. However, I noticed that the webhook endpoint of SaaS 1 receives payment events related to SaaS 2, and vice versa.

I think I might be using Stripe in the wrong way.

Need Advice: Stripe Webhooks Bleeding Between Two SaaS Products

I have two SaaS tools, both using Stripe for payments. Stripe lets me add 16 webhooks, so I set up one for SaaS 1 and another for SaaS 2—but here’s the problem: when SaaS 2 gets a subscription (or other billing events), SaaS 1’s backend still gets the Stripe webhook callback too.This setup feels inelegant, and I’m stuck on fixing it. For anyone running multiple SaaS on one Stripe account: how...

My issue has been resolved today:

1. After 10 days of communication with Vercel, the platform has unblocked my account and websites, and provided the specific explanation I expected.

2. One of my websites remains blocked because a page on it has a DMCA issue, while the other websites have been unblocked.

3. Over these 10 days, I have migrated some of my websites to Cloudflare, which was not an easy process. Technically, it involved migrating from Next.js to Open Next.js, requiring modifications and testing of a significant amount of code.

4. If anyone is interested, I can share my experience with the technical migration as well as the communication process with Vercel.

5. I would like to express my gratitude for everyone's suggestions at all times.

They still refuse to provide me with any valuable information to this day, even though I've reached out via email multiple times—and they’ve been polite throughout. Once I finish handling the website migration, I’ll launch a new site to fully document the entire incident and all communication records.
It seems unlikely. The CEO of Vercel recently criticized Cloudflare regarding traffic quality issues. I think Vercel built its entire web hosting business on top of AWS.
There is indeed an upload feature, but users’ avatars, files, and other uploads aren’t shared with the community—they can only be accessed by the users themselves.

What I find hardest to understand is: if there’s an issue with a website, why shut down all of my sites?

Thanks! I didn’t know any of this—learned something new.
I'm not entirely sure about the cause, but here are some possibilities:

1. I run a SaaS browser extension that lets users export table data from any website. It can bypass some download restrictions, and I’m not sure if this has ever caused complaints.

2. A few months ago, I launched a free expired-domain valuation tool. It identified some high-value domains abandoned by governments and international organizations, as well as domains linked to gambling and scams. I’m not sure if any of this may have breached regulations.

Thank you for your concern. Some of the websites have been restored and are now running on Cloudflare.
Next.js was once very useful to me, and now I am converting all my projects to Open NextJs.

Lost all my sites overnight: Vercel terminated my account without notice

This week, my Vercel account was suddenly disabled and all of my deployments and data were deleted.I received no warning, no suspension notice, and no post-action explanation. When I emailed their support to ask what happened, they refused to give a reason and simply said they wouldn’t restore the account or data.I’ve been a Vercel user for over two years and never had any issue until now. It’s...

I built a site to replay every NYT Connections (with hints, just for fun)

I recently got hooked on the New York Times game Connections. It's fun, but sometimes pretty challenging — and once you finish the daily puzzle, that's it until tomorrow.So I decided to collect all past Connections puzzles in one place, so you can play anytime you want. I also added optional hints for the tricky ones.https://connections-hint-today.orgWould love feedback from puzzle fans here.

Whois data is the basic source to check if a domain is in PendingDelete status. With 30,000–50,000 domains expiring daily, it's crucial to filter out the valuable ones. I use an LLM in the first round to screen based on name and brand potential, and in the final round, I combine SEO data for a full quality assessment.
Thank you for your feedback — I’ll get that spelling error fixed!

My site doesn't directly handle domain purchases. Based on my personal experience, here's what I recommend:

1. For valuable domains that are about to expire, there’s often a lot of competition, and they typically require backordering. I suggest using platforms like DropCatch, Cached, or Dynadot Backorders to improve your chances of securing them.

2. For domains that have already expired and become available again, I usually compare prices across platforms like Domnest to find the best deal.

Good point — I’ll add more explanations soon. auto-renew is super important. I’ve seen many good domains expire just because someone forgot to turn it on. I've helped a few clients recover theirs in time.

Show HN: I built a free tool to find valuable expired domains using AI

https://www.pendingdelete.domains

Hi HN,I’ve been collecting and analyzing expired domains for years — especially those about to drop. Every day, tens of thousands expire. Most are junk, but a few still have traffic, backlinks, SEO value, or just great names. Finding them used to take hours.Last week I put my internal tools online: https://pendingdelete.domains No login, no paywall Updated daily Combines domain history,...

Ask HN: Which website SEO analysis tool would you recommend?

As a startup aiming to improve website rankings, which website SEO analysis tool is more user-friendly and effective? I have already tried the free version of SEMRush, as well as other tools that claim to be free but require a paid subscription for full access. I found inconsistencies in their traffic statistics and keyword analysis results.

Perplexity is great for searching recent information, but it doesn't allow me to limit the results to just the information from yesterday to today. I want an AI to automatically search for, filter, and recommend information of interest to me on a daily basis, and it seems that Perplexity cannot be integrated into my daily automated workflow.

I thought that Perplexity couldn't meet my needs, but I just had the idea to write a script to use Perplexity to search for me daily and then send me the results. I need to try it out and see how effective it is.

Indeed, I am using RSS, but there's too much new information every day. I feel that I should first automate the filtering of my RSS feeds.

You're a philosopher!

Perhaps it would be simpler to automate the filtering of information in just one specific direction, as I truly can't figure out how to efficiently handle all the streams of information I'm interested in.

Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?

I want to build an AI agent that lets me define what information interests me, such as "the hottest design trend discussions on Reddit" or "who's looking for a remote designer collaboration." This AI agent would automatically browse various forums and news sites daily, dig up information, and only push the most relevant stuff to me. I'd like to ask everyone:1. Besides web scraping and large...

MCP is a bit cumbersome, and compared to the official HTTP examples, I prefer the routing definition method of FastAPI. I am interested in taking a look at your project.

Lessons learned from launching my first product

I created a tool named Logo Spark(https://logospark.starta.trade) for logo design inspiration and launched it on Hacker News a week ago.As a programmer, this is my first independently developed product. I've learned a lot in the process, including understanding user needs, defining products, and marketing. Of course, I'm still a novice in these areas.I'd like to share what I consider to be the...

Existing users have already received 10 usage credits. New users who register will receive 5 usage credits upon their first login.

Thank you all for your support. We are currently working hard to enhance our logo-style interaction system.

- Testimonials have been removed.

- TOS was updated. I have temporarily removed some incorrect statements. As I am not well-versed in compliance, I am seeking assistance from a third party.

- Regarding copyright issues of digital content, I hope the industry can provide best practices. Currently, I hope that AI-designed logos can inspire users in their design process rather than being used directly.

Other issues have been partially optimized, and I will continue to devote more time. Thank you for your rich experience and patient guidance.
