This week at @stripe Sessions the platform team has shipped so many things that make building on Stripe better! A couple of highlights from my amazing team: Sandboxes for all Test mode is finally unleashed! With Sandboxes, you can create multiple safe Sandbox environments to test and integrate together as a team. Being able to have a space for yourself to play + explore is magic. Now on every Stripe account near you. 🪄 docs.stripe.com/sandboxes Workflows Automate Stripe without writing code, using our new visual builder. Update a customer automatically if they spend a specific amount! Email a team member when a coupon is used! There's so much you can now do in a few seconds: docs.stripe.com/workflows (Public preview) Blueprints An early look at a new experience that makes integrating with Stripe easier to understand, starting with V2 accounts. Visualize the sequence of API calls for the complete integration—and execute them directly in the dashboard. (Public preview—try it out as you migrate to V2 accounts in Workbench) New app capabilities We're working on new ways for developers to deeply embed WITHIN Stripe, starting with extending into detail pages, and the ability to swap out your tax engine. (Private preview—more coming soon) docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps There is so much more that's great for developers + everyone using Stripe this year across the entire platform. See the full list here: stripe.com/blog/top-product-…

Just got off a call with Reddit about the API and new pricing. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comme…

As we grow ever closer to Group One systems gradually shipping, a lot of press folks got to unpack their Playdates today. Here's a few. First, we absolutely applaud the spirit of Janet's device comparison video: nitter.cf/Gameonysus/status/1513…
I feel like the Playdate's ethos is creativity and fun so for the retro part of the size comparisons I did stop motion animation for the first time.
