Is it just me, or is this really confusing? Which services are responsible for taking payments? If the website goes down, does that affect taking payments? Isn't stripe.js part of the API? If the API goes down, doesn't that affect stripe.js?<p>Also, what is up with all of that downtime? I think I'd expect my payment provider to have better uptime. Makes me wonder how quality the backend really is.<p>If I was using stripe and my site couldn't accept payments for X minutes during a really important time (which seems to have happened 5 times in the last couple months), I'd be really pissed.<p>Also, from a UX experience, getting my mouse pointer to line up over a 4 pixel wide line is a pain in the ass. It looks pretty, but isn't really usable.<p>Update: Why the downvote? At least respond to me.
Why is this important? Why are you telling this to people? Why is this news that a Hacker should know.<p>I might not get it, but IMHO if its not something of general interest, it shouldn't be on HN (even though the company might be PG's portfolio).
