tompi··on Building a Developer Cult
As much as I love Stripe, I agree with you. Just did a Stripe Checkout implementation :

- Checkout docs are definitely not good, there is a "Getting started" and then good luck

- the CTRL+F hijack is the most annoying thing I've stumbled upon recently. Please don't do that.

About annotations, a new proposal has been submitted a few days ago. It's not the first time so I don't want to be too optimistic, but it looks great.

tompi··on Stripe Elements: Pre-built UI components to help you create checkout flows
Awesome ! It's currently a painful form to maintain :)

Actually, CC details never transit to the shop server. The CC inputs don't have a "name" attribute, so the browser doesn't add them in the request. Instead, the stripe javascript catches the submit, sends the CC details to stripe with ajax, and add an hidden input containing an authorization token the server can use.

Of course the customer don't know that, but as a developer I'm very happy not to handle any CC details in my server/app :)

tompi··on Apple’s 2016 in review
I grew up with Windows, switched to to OSX and got an iphone 6 years ago, it was amazing. Apple made me love my job, programming on my MBP was awesome. Now it's exactly that, no added advantage, but regressions. Same on iOS in my opinion. Time to move on.
