Another German. We use "cards" all the time. But these are just cashless and tied to our SEPA accounts (so not a credit card).
Re:Reducing notification permission prompt spam in Firefox on Tuesday April 02, 2019 @07:46AM (#19553031)

I'm building a tool that uses browser notifications to ping when something new is created. It only asks for permission, when a user clicks the button which is clearly labeled to "setup browser notifications". It also sends only 1! notification until the browser tab is opened again, to not spam.

Hello HN,

this is the early stage version of a support platform I am building. I would consider it beta software. It's the common denominator of things I want to see in a platform thats simple to integrate but has enough features to work with: help center, chat, shared team inbox, etc. In the future I’m going to add features in the direction of analytics to let users improve their content quality, and thus reducing their support load ($). So building stuff is the easy part (since I’m a SE), but marketing - oh boy have I no idea what I am doing.

I would love to see you try it out / email is in profile
