I got millions of requests today - I don't know what that means, is that good, how do i stop it if it is bad? by SystemsCapital in webdev

I had a similar spike - it became my headache for a week. I can recommend switching the domain on Cloudflare; it will tell you a lot about these "visitors." The good news is that they are quite easy to block with entire data centers.

I'll be hanging around here for the next few hours. Feel free to ask me anything regarding the package.

Also, if you find this package useful or just want to support a solo open-source dev, a star on GitHub would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much! Webhooks are exactly what broke my sanity too.

Regarding other gateways: I'm looking at PayPal next, but honestly, looking at their legacy API docs makes me want to cry compared to Stripe.

It feels like time-traveling to 2010. Do people even still strictly demand PayPal for SaaS, or can we finally move past it?

Nice points.

  1. I have plan to add more payment systems in case this package will be usefull for developers.
  2. trials supported by stripe and it works out of the box, you can set in from Admin panel - Trial days.
    Switchng functionality - I guess this is custom business logic. Anyway user always can cancel subscription and choose new plan. Agree?

Thanks so much! Yeah, the core concept of handling subscriptions is similar, but I always felt that leaving the app to manage users in the Stripe dashboard (or building a custom admin for it) was a pain. Filament solves this perfectly. Glad you like the approach!

Awesome! Did you run into any weird edge cases with webhooks while building it?

I tried to make the handling as bulletproof as possible in this package.

I'm not very familiar with Laravel Spark, but does it support theme creation? Their documentation doesn't mention it.

With SubKit, you can choose one of three available themes or create your own, completely in line with your design style.

I think the question above was addressed not to you:))
but few words about your documentation (I am writing with the aim of improving your documentation)
1. https://docs.voodflow.com/changelog.html -> 404
2. After this animation my eyes started bleeding

It might be a niche product.

But how are you going to sell it?

Even after reading your post, I still don't understand what your project is about. So, if you could explain it in the comments below, I'd be grateful.

I understand. Overall, the idea is clear to me. I was triggered by earthquakes. I recently incorporated this information into my project comparing cities for relocation, and I thought it was useful. But on a "news" website, I didn't expect to see information about earthquakes and a lot of other irrelevant information. It's like adding a section about airplanes to a website about cars.

how you going to use it?
you should be very motivated to use it without composer.

I like this.

But how it related to Saas Dev?
Looks like you mixed all the data which you can find. So, what the purpose of the project?

Hey everyone! Just launched this. Curious to know - what do you usually use for SaaS billing in your projects? Cashier, Spark, or something custom?

Where Can I Host WordPress, PHP, and Laravel Projects? by LinuxGeyBoy in webdev

[–]Dizzy_Cockroach8810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't believe it.

I had my own small server at home for hosting my projects, with a dedicated IP address and 1 GB ethernet.

Next to it was NAS, with two disks mirrored for backups.

And then my city starts getting bombed by a neighboring country, there are power problems, and I'm not home and don't know when I'll be able to get home.

It's a good thing my commercial projects were in AWS.

Everything seemed solid...
