hikerell··on Need Advice: Stripe Webhooks Bleeding Between Two SaaS Products
Thank you, but I still don’t understand how to operate this.

I created several products in Stripe for the business of SaaS 1 website, and also created several products for the business of SaaS 2 website— which is a completely different one. However, I noticed that the webhook endpoint of SaaS 1 receives payment events related to SaaS 2, and vice versa.

I think I might be using Stripe in the wrong way.

hikerell··on Lost all my sites overnight: Vercel terminated my account without notice
My issue has been resolved today:

1. After 10 days of communication with Vercel, the platform has unblocked my account and websites, and provided the specific explanation I expected.

2. One of my websites remains blocked because a page on it has a DMCA issue, while the other websites have been unblocked.

3. Over these 10 days, I have migrated some of my websites to Cloudflare, which was not an easy process. Technically, it involved migrating from Next.js to Open Next.js, requiring modifications and testing of a significant amount of code.

4. If anyone is interested, I can share my experience with the technical migration as well as the communication process with Vercel.

5. I would like to express my gratitude for everyone's suggestions at all times.

They still refuse to provide me with any valuable information to this day, even though I've reached out via email multiple times—and they’ve been polite throughout. Once I finish handling the website migration, I’ll launch a new site to fully document the entire incident and all communication records.

It seems unlikely. The CEO of Vercel recently criticized Cloudflare regarding traffic quality issues. I think Vercel built its entire web hosting business on top of AWS.

There is indeed an upload feature, but users’ avatars, files, and other uploads aren’t shared with the community—they can only be accessed by the users themselves.

What I find hardest to understand is: if there’s an issue with a website, why shut down all of my sites?

Thanks! I didn’t know any of this—learned something new.

I'm not entirely sure about the cause, but here are some possibilities:

1. I run a SaaS browser extension that lets users export table data from any website. It can bypass some download restrictions, and I’m not sure if this has ever caused complaints.

2. A few months ago, I launched a free expired-domain valuation tool. It identified some high-value domains abandoned by governments and international organizations, as well as domains linked to gambling and scams. I’m not sure if any of this may have breached regulations.

Thank you for your concern. Some of the websites have been restored and are now running on Cloudflare.

Next.js was once very useful to me, and now I am converting all my projects to Open NextJs.
hikerell··on Show HN: I built a free tool to find valuable expired domains using AI
Whois data is the basic source to check if a domain is in PendingDelete status. With 30,000–50,000 domains expiring daily, it's crucial to filter out the valuable ones. I use an LLM in the first round to screen based on name and brand potential, and in the final round, I combine SEO data for a full quality assessment.

Thank you for your feedback — I’ll get that spelling error fixed!

My site doesn't directly handle domain purchases. Based on my personal experience, here's what I recommend:

1. For valuable domains that are about to expire, there’s often a lot of competition, and they typically require backordering. I suggest using platforms like DropCatch, Cached, or Dynadot Backorders to improve your chances of securing them.

2. For domains that have already expired and become available again, I usually compare prices across platforms like Domnest to find the best deal.

Good point — I’ll add more explanations soon. auto-renew is super important. I’ve seen many good domains expire just because someone forgot to turn it on. I've helped a few clients recover theirs in time.
hikerell··on Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?
Perplexity is great for searching recent information, but it doesn't allow me to limit the results to just the information from yesterday to today. I want an AI to automatically search for, filter, and recommend information of interest to me on a daily basis, and it seems that Perplexity cannot be integrated into my daily automated workflow.
hikerell··on Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?
I thought that Perplexity couldn't meet my needs, but I just had the idea to write a script to use Perplexity to search for me daily and then send me the results. I need to try it out and see how effective it is.
hikerell··on Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?
Indeed, I am using RSS, but there's too much new information every day. I feel that I should first automate the filtering of my RSS feeds.
hikerell··on Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?
You're a philosopher!

Perhaps it would be simpler to automate the filtering of information in just one specific direction, as I truly can't figure out how to efficiently handle all the streams of information I'm interested in.

MCP is a bit cumbersome, and compared to the official HTTP examples, I prefer the routing definition method of FastAPI. I am interested in taking a look at your project.

- Testimonials have been removed.

- TOS was updated. I have temporarily removed some incorrect statements. As I am not well-versed in compliance, I am seeking assistance from a third party.

- Regarding copyright issues of digital content, I hope the industry can provide best practices. Currently, I hope that AI-designed logos can inspire users in their design process rather than being used directly.

Other issues have been partially optimized, and I will continue to devote more time. Thank you for your rich experience and patient guidance.

Thank you very much for your attempt, and I apologize for my rudeness.

I am preparing to add clear payment reminders on the login, registration, and usage interfaces as a temporary solution, and as compensation, all registered users will currently receive 10 free trial opportunities.

You should now see that your credits have increased.

I apologize again for the bad experience brought to everyone, and I am fixing the related website issues.

Thank you for your criticism and correction. I feel ashamed for rushing the website online and making obvious mistakes.

I am beginning to address these issues.
