Hi there, I'm Raffi, one of the co-founders of Lago (Billing API). I think this dilemma is amplified with specific topics like authentication, permissions or billing. Even if you come with a home-made solution that took you a month to

Value first, money comes after. I do agree with your comment!

At least, they should find another revenue streams. Some companies only price per seat while their customers share seats with a shared-password tool. We all do this. Having addons and other revenue streams is definitely a must have, altho

I’m Raffi from Lago. Frankly, Stripe is a awesome company. They’ve built amazing products, including Stripe Payments (the blog post starts with this exact same statement). When it comes to billing, we do believe we are creating a better sol

Totally aligned with this. It takes about 2 weeks to implement (if you treat this as a proper feature), and it saves so much time after. Some teams often say that it's not necessary before PMF, but I'm wondering how fast they ship

Interesting comment. I feel like all engineers having a DS in past exp don't want to get back to a company without one. I had this feedback from several FE engineers. Somehow, you don't know how painful it is until you have a comp

Can you test again, we made an improvement and should be better. Thanks again

I can see a lot of drawbacks if you don't have one. But a lot of early stage don't produce DS before Product Market Fit. Our design and FE team love to have it for several reasons: - Design consistency - Boost productivity when i

We build a DS from scratch since the beginning, and we feel we saved a lot of designing and engineering time. Releasing new features has been pretty smooth thanks to it. It took about 2 weeks to implement with basic components and it gives

Oh thanks! looking into it

I'm aligned with your comment. I feel like it saved us a lot of time, even creating a product from scratch & before PMF. We started with a simple one, without over-engineering the DS

I do think there are a lot of advantages before PMF too. Somehow, if you need to pivot and throw away you initial product, you can start over a new one pretty easily if your design system is on point. At least, we had this strong feeling w

Is there a special thing to prevent being blocked from most platforms? For instance, if I post your shortlink on HackerNews, can I be marked as "dupe"

Yes, it's currently part of our scope. I think the hardest part of credit notes is whether the invoice is paid or still to be paid. If I'm taking the example of an invoice to be paid, you can issue a credit note that can overwrite

As a company founder, that's exactly the profiles I'm hunting when starting a new business. However, based on my previous experiences, the company won't hire this kind of profiles when the business scales, and you could get b

That's probably something I would see "on-top" of Notion. I really like the formulas on steroid, but having another tool inside the company is a bit painful. Notion team could authorize add-ons built on top...
