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.
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.
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.
We're hiring a Rails engineer to help build out Sidestep. We work with Artists to help them sell merch and VIP experiences to their fans before, during and after a show for easy pickup and delivery. We work with artists including (but not limited to): Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, Selena Gomez and Adele. We're a small team and have a lot of fun.

A few notes about you:
- Work with other members of the team to build new features and update existing ones
- Should be familiar with RSpec and be comfortable writing (or learning how to wite) your own tests
Typing “please lock my car” seems like so much more effort than tapping “lock” in the app.
