I just Googled, Warty Warthog was released October 2004. I ordered a free CD of this to my house, as a teen, and installed it — wiping Windows — without a second thought. What followed, after feverishly owning up to breaking the machine (the DSL modem only worked with Windows), was truly the start of my future in technology, computers and software. Ubuntu has stayed constant with me as many, many things have changed over these two decades.

Long time Cron user here. Cron just uninstalled itself during an update and I had to find this announcement manually. Not a good look.

After downloading the new app, I now get this error:

> This app has reached its sign-in rate limit for now.

Did you not consider the migration path for existing users?

This outage has been going on for 8 hours at this point, and we can’t actually fail over to a different region. I’m shocked at this from a company who has a product like SQL Server where you pay a premium for reliability.

I moved over to Render and cancelled Heroku. I didn't mind it before because it was reliable (if not expensive) but this Github fiasco made me move. Happy to get rid.

I've been happy with them so far, although I only have a few customers. The backend dashboard feels a little MVP but everything works well. The checkout flow is also hosted so you just embed that into your app which is nice.

Paddle is fundamentally different to Stripe. As you said they a merchant of record. Your customers purchase via Paddle, manage the subscription etc via them. Disputes would be via them too. Something to bear in mind.
