News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is really cool. How do you handle changes of pricing with something like this?
Interesting! Is there an escape hatch to drop down to raw Stripe primitives if someone needs a feature you haven’t modeled yet?

This feels like something many teams eventually build internally — curious how you’re thinking about long-term API surface + compatibility with new Stripe features.

How does this compare to other open source integration platforms like Nango or Airbyte?
Hey everyone, we were doing some repo admin and briefly changed the visibility of the repo from public -> private and back to public, then discovered in horror that we lost ALL the github stars and forks! Googling suggests that others have ran into this issue too and github is not able to restore it (see https://www.qovery.com/blog/we-lost-3800-stars-on-github-in-...).

Could you help us by starring our repo and perhaps spread the word? Would really mean a lot! https://github.com/useVenice/venice

PSA: Never change a public repo to private, not even for a moment, because doing so means you will irreversibly lose ALL your github stars and forks, there is no going back! :(

Can you comment on cells and rows ? Document columns?

Congrats on the launch!!

if it's postgres, then 5 mins as shown in the video :) Otherwise what data warehouse are you thinking of and what's the use case behind it?

Can you clarify what you mean by "not out of box" API? We haven't built an integration with Argyle yet but once we do it would be the same experience as Plaid

Show HN: Venice – open-source Plaid to Postgres in minutes without code

Hi HN!Tony & Ali here, we are super excited to introduce Venice - an open source financial data integrations platform. Our MVP is getting financial data from Plaid into your postgres database in under 5 mins.We met while building our own respective fintechs. We noticed how much developer time went into setting up and maintaining the infrastructure rather than actually building the fintech...

This is a lesson that needs to be learnt and relearnt over and over again, with increasing level of clarity each time.

The largest size we tested was 150mb, that's why the x-axis of the graph ends at that point :)

Impact can exist regardless of the underlying cause for impact. It may be because someone's device is full, or does not want to download over cellular, or any other myriad of factors. But you'll still lose an install statistically speaking.

@CharlesW we mostly focused on the facts and running as controlled of an experiment as possible without bias or drawing conclusion on exactly why heavier apps get downloaded less. Though my personal guess from working years in the mobile app space is that users are surprisingly conscious of data & disk usage. Not everyone has unlimited data or 128GB storage iPhones.

We like to embrace different technologies and use each for its strength. MongoDB is excellent for a whole class of use cases and we like it a lot, but we also use other persistence solutions as well. Check out Polyglot persistence post by Martin Fowler, it's an awesome read. http://martinfowler.com/bliki/PolyglotPersistence.html
Hi troymc,

Interesting idea. We might look into that sometimes. Our current focus is on delivering a great experience to end users so we are integrating services ourselves one at a time. Don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. :)

We actually checked out Jolicloud when they launched. Kudos to them that they have built a stunningly beautiful product. Our focus however is less on giving you one place to view all of your content but much more on organizing them, sharing them and making sense of them.
Kirsty is one of the most amazing people I have met while at YC. Low profile, high impact.
The KFC looks very delicious, haven't had a meal there in a long time. Yums.
Hi james, we just installed Mountain Lion and can confirm that this issue does indeed exist. We're working on getting it fixed and will get back to you.
Hi drobati, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you give us a bit more detail?
Hi jameswyse, thanks a lot for offering to help. We have yet to test our app on the latest Mountain Lion. We will install Mountain Lion tomorrow and test the app. Feel free to email us at [email protected] and we'll drop you a note once we finish testing the product on mountain lion.
