@robin_faraj Actually renting will save you a lot of money. If you do the math this is true. Wealthy people rent because it's better in the long term: - no property taxes - no maintenance costs - no interest paid to banks - no mortgage And it's easier and faster to level up if you want

@fullstackmiguel Start small. Do something really small that you don't want to do. You'll feel better after, and you'll be ready to move on to something bigger.

@Sporting_CPAdep Com esta venda conseguimos colocar o Esgaio por empréstimo na Turquia, porque abre uma vaga de empréstimos internacionais, e nós já tinhamos o máximo de 5. Se pensares que a venda do Vinagre possibilita a saída do Esgaio, já vale os 8M de prejuízo? Até vale mais!

@JoschuaBuilds I will, someday. But I want to try it out solo first. Did you launch anything solo before having a co-founder? Where did you meet your co-founder?

@jackfriks Doing hard things, makes you feel bad at the moment but good afterward. Doing easy things, makes you feel good at the moment, but bad afterward. Hard: - working out - create a feature - ice bath Easy: - scroll social media - play video games - watching Netflix

@sumanthvepa Sumanth, I was able to get a good answer here:
Hey João, I’ve dealt with this before Stripe can be a bit tricky with Google Pay and Apple Pay. But what you can do is to check everything done from your side: 1. Make Sure They're Enabled Go to Stripe Dashboard → Settings → Payment Methods and double-check if Google Pay and Apple Pay are actually turned on. 2. Apple Pay Needs Domain Verification For Apple Pay to work, you must verify your domain. Go to Settings → Payments → Apple Pay Download the verification file and upload it to ".well-known" on your site. Then, verify it inside Stripe. 3. Use Stripe Checkout or Payment Element If you're just using a payment link, Apple Pay & Google Pay might not show up. They work best with Stripe Checkout or Stripe Payment Element. 4. Device & Browser Also Matter in this buddy Apple Pay only appears on Safari (iPhone/Mac with Apple Wallet set up). Google Pay works on Chrome, Edge, and Android devices. 5. Check Currency & Location Not all currencies support these payment methods. Stripe’s supported currencies page can help.

@ProductUpfront Thank you, Amit! ❤️ 1. ✅ I did that 2. ❌ Still need to do this 3. ❌ Yeap, I was using a payment link. I need to look into Stripe Checkout and Stripe Payment Element then.. 4. I had no idea! 😅 Apple Pay is working on Safari! 😃🎉 5. I'm using EUR, so it should be fine

@clivassy And you figure out what you don't know! 😅 This could be a business opportunity because if you don't know it, others may not know it either. 💡🤔 Plus, it's fun to build new things! 🙃
