What’s the advantage to using this over the official tesla app?

Typing “please lock my car” seems like so much more effort than tapping “lock” in the app.

I don't think the fees stack like that. The terminal page says 2.7% + $0.05 per transaction. I believe that Stripe Connect doesn't take an extra fee, at least not in my experience.

We spent a lot of time building a terminal at Sidestep on top of Stripe (and a few other processors). Everything on the in-person payment level was done through an iOS or Android device. The hardest part wasn't managing devices (they could log in on almost any device), but the hardware integration for accepting credit cards. It exists in various places, but none of it could do exactly what we wanted to do. CardFlight was the closest to being a stripe friendly api for swiping cards. Usually the devices for swiping cards were too expensive and the failure rate was high. I don't think swiping hardware has gone down, unless you're using Square.

But hardware costs aside, the ability to fully integrate with the API on a terminal level is the most powerful thing here. It allows for so many cool POS integrations like the one we building at Sidestep.

To me, the coolest thing about this is that it supports Stripe Connect so you can create a POS that's used by others without having to deal with any money transfer yourself. Customer swipes card -> your software -> client's bank account.

Not entirely true. They shifted focus on mobile to continue making mobile software for other OSes.

It is. For both legitimate and nefarious uses. Bigger software/game devs still use bittorrent to distribute patches and updates—World of Warcraft is an example.

So in my last company, we tried so many different CRMs. Salesforce, Salesforce IQ, Close.io, Pipedrive, and more. What we discovered that none of them allowed us to work the way that we wanted. Integrating with some of their APIs was more work than we wanted to do, they were expensive, and entirely closed source.

Pickle is designed to help you stay lean, allows you to create multiple projects (so you can use it at home, work, side projects, etc) with one login.

For example: People are using it to manage guest lists, for an event/wedding/party, using it to be transparent with their clients (see: https://picklecrm.com/home-buying-timeline.html), to manage personal affairs at home like they children's clubs and groups.

You're definitely right: we should add more screenshots!

Awesome, thanks for sharing and thank you for the feedback!

Whomever implements Whats New into their website/app can pass in any data they'd like as the identifier (hash, email, id, nickname, etc) as long as it's unique. Great suggestion to hash it with regards to GDPR and unnecessary data collection. I should definitely work on encouraging people to shy from using email addresses.

Hi everyone, I've put together Whats New App to scratch my own itch. It's a simple way to let your users know what's new in your app/website by copy/pasting a javascript snippet.

When it detects an existing user (identified by a user id, email, or whatever you'd like to use), it'll show them the new updates since the last time they visited.

It's helped me in a few of my projects keep users up to date. It's very new/beta. If you don't ant to sign up to check it out, here's a slightly older video demo: https://youtu.be/n4vmIsw2N3k

I'd love to know what you all think and I'm happy to answer any questions.

I'd love to know how you end up with this! I'm in the process of accepting new work myself. Feel free to reach out – email in profile.

For those of you with kids:

1. Do your kids prefer using an iPad over a computer with a keyboard?

2. Do you prefer them to use an iPad over a laptop?

One of the things I like the least about all of these boxes (Apple TV, Xbox, Roku) is the need to type in a password in front of everyone in the room using a joystick or the arrows. The whole concept of a keyboard on a screen that's used by only 4 buttons reminds me of the parody onion article when they discussed removing the keyboard on the MacBook in favor of a click wheel. It doesn't make sense.

Interacting with documentation is such a cool way to actually learn. I know many people–myself included–that learn from trial and error; reading simply doesn't cut it.

I'm excited to see this go further than just express. It's not only going to be a great way to learn, but a great way to teach, too.

I haven't had any issues with the 5K monitor and it's about 3 feet from the router. At least for me it works incredibly well.

Great explanation!

Been using Tonic for a few months now and it's been very useful and incredibly easy to test things out.

Tested out an idea quickly with Twilio, demoed an API in another notebook, and prototyped a new feature from my iPad while on an airplane (that's my favorite part).

It's been really useful for me and now that I can embed it into my blog posts or in the documentation is going to be really helpful for the rest of our team. Awesome work guys!

This is really awesome. I've managed to do something similar, but for the Washington Capitals. When the game starts the lights change to the color of the home team, and when they score the flash. I'm using a little web scraper to pull from nhl.com to get the data, however, sometimes it's quite out of sync with the actual game (streaming or live tv). Usually about 30 seconds to a minute delay.

The best part is when I forget that they are playing and the lights start flashing randomly. Always scares guests :)

Swaw reminds me of http://storehouse.co

Seems pretty neat, like what you're doing here, NubeDeArroz!

I like how simple you've kept it. I built a similar service a few years ago to send invoices to clients directly: http://betterinvoices.com – we were one of the first partners with Stripe. You can hook up your stripe account and accept credit cards – free :)

Looks like one of the philosophies that we both share is not needing to log in before doing anything. I think this is very powerful – especially for people who just want to get things done. But if you're a bit OCD, you can still log in and get more.

Keep up the good work!

The article starts off by setting a negative tone.

"If you’re reading my blog, there’s a decent chance that I know more about Objective-C than you do. I have opinions about it. You should take them seriously even if you disagree. "

It's confusing when trying to understand his point and in all fairness I don't think it added to it.

Even the title is a bit self-serving after reading the opening paragraph, "I don't know swift" can be loosely translated into, "I don't know it so it must be new."

He makes a good point that we can help grow swift into a better "fully-baked" language by contributing.

I think the article would have been much better without the first paragraph. I think there would be less confusion amongst readers and would have set a lighter tone.

The Times They Are a-Changin'

The good news is that there's no good way that Apple can stop Android devices (or other devices with BTLE) from broadcasting or detecting iBeacons.

Glad to see that the source code is still available to fork.

Seems like a cool service, but I don't understand the quality of the sales people. What experience do they have? What have they sold before?

Seems like an odd way to show off a technology boasting speed when it's cracking under the load. Can anyone confirm if it's running on hippyvm?

I went outside. It's bright out there. There were strange creatures walking and making noises.
