I definitely considered that. Then I realized that I would also need to not let the numbers get too large and/or reset them at some point, so I just shipped it.

I may still do this, as it's definitely more accurate that way in terms of representing how it actually works!


Thank you! I'm much more into backend dev, so this is very helpful. Will do.


I've been building on top of Stripe for awhile now, and I've always wanted a way to see live charges as they come in. I also needed an excuse to finally learn WebSockets/ActionCable, so I made this.

I plan to add more sections of data in the future, and maybe some goal tracking, so that people can track progress toward their revenue targets (and share them with others for support!)


Can it be for week or month instead of current day?


In the future, sure. Especially when I add goals, because they'll be much more useful when it comes to MRR, for instance.


This is really cool!


Thanks! Coming from someone at Stripe, that's high praise.


I'm Richard, founder of Stunning (bestunning.net). We've been dealing with handling failed payments on Stripe longer than anyone else out there (and I've been running successful SaaS apps since 2009).

I'm happy to freely share what I've learned, if anyone has questions about cutting churn and retaining SaaS customers. You can catch me on Twitter, where I'm @rfelix.


Thanks, Patrick!


An Inka Pen. The older, metal ones, not the new terrible ones that Nite-Ize makes: http://www.amazon.com/Nite-ize-Stylus-Carbon-Fiber-Stainless...


Failing an Inka pen, there's always the Space Pen, or for budget inclined, the Zebra F-301 (and Compact version of the same)


We’ve been doing this for a couple of years over at http://getdispatch.com, with a particular focus on sales leads.


We're already supporting Stripe's metadata over at Stunning in our receipt emails for customers, and rolling it out to our other email types in the near future (http://blog.bestunning.net/stripe-metadata-support-for-stunn...)


Also check out Stunning: https://bestunning.net

We've been doing dunning for Stripe from the beginning, support a ton of email types and events, have an iPhone app with push notifications of payments and other important events, payment update pages for your customers to easily update billing info, and we can even send out emails before cards expire.


Hey Richard! We're big fans of stunning -- I think we hit very different markets as well, as we're looking at companies that want to integrate payment and dunning emails into the same workflow as the rest of their transactional email.

I think the number of apps you've put it is really amazing and you've got an awesome portfolio; keep kicking ass :)


Maybe I can help! http://askabootstrapper.com
