Hey,

I’ve been building a product with a small team that increases conversions inside products (intercom-esque). It’s pretty data heavy, exploring how to aggregate across hundreds of thousands of events, on-the-fly enrichment, video and calendar support for scheduling.

We’ve built it in full stack typescript, with a Next JS app, express backend on GCP with some other services handling events and calendar support. It’s been really fun to build!

Today we’ve launched on Product Hunt if you have some spare seconds to support us: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ripe

Any questions, ask away!

Not yet, but that is definitely on the way!

Nope! They put it in once, and they can tip all creators with an account with Tippy.

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words.

It was just a passing thought that it would be fun to be able to send money through replies on Twitter, then realised cross-platform with anything that has a mention system haha no big thought process.

Senders, or 'Supporters' can attach a card, or wallet (apple/google) within a minute and it deducts from that. No lock-in, and no charges until you decide to tip.

Thanks for the question!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Tippy - a product to support creators by tipping through Twitter. I released it around a month ago after building for two months on the side of my day-job.

Tips are through replies using both Twitter and Stripe API’s. Successful transactions are stored on the backend and visualised through the web-app.

Future transactions are stored when a supporter tips a creator not yet on Tippy. They receive a mention telling them they’ve been tipped and to sign up to claim it. These expire after three days and are processed on intervals through a cron job.

Ability to send tips with a hidden amount through hashtags. These are defined through the web-app and referenced in the tip. Buy this reader a #cheeburger

How does this differ from Twitter Tips?

• On-platform: supporting others in context

• Card-first: most third-party services used by Twitter are country specific, limiting cross-border support

• Cross-platform roadmap: I’m building for other platforms such as Discord, anything with a mention system could be an option.
