Shopify says remove Stripe billing or get booted from their app store
We're a SaaS business currently listed on the Shopify App store. Today we got this stern email from Shopify's 'Partner Governance' team.

TLDR: Don't even have Stripe as an option for Shopify users or we'll boot you. Also backpay since Jan 2019.

"At Shopify, it is critical to maintain high trust and integrity within the Shopify App Store, so merchants have a reliable place to find solutions to grow their business.

During a routine investigation, Partner Governance identified your app [our app] as offering external billing for Shopify merchants and not using the Billing API for all payments.

[a couple of images of our cart]

As you are aware, all paid apps are required to use our Billing API, as noted in our Partner Program Agreement (Section 3.2 Payments, Point 5) unless express permission is granted by Shopify.

Payment information should not be obtained from the merchant directly and all charges should be processed through the billing API.

We require that you make the required changes as soon as possible to ensure all future payments are handled through our billing API. This would include redirecting any current merchants to select their plan and re-approve the new subscription through the Billing API and ensuring that all new merchants are billed through the API.

Shopify has also recently rolled out an annual subscription feature on the Billing API that makes the yearly subscription event easier on the API.

Additionally, we will require a report of the merchants who have been billed outside of the Billing API and retroactive revenue share payment for any/all qualifying 20% revenue dated January 2019 - Present.

Once the report has been reviewed, we will reach out with next steps on how to submit the transfer of funds to Shopify via wire transfer."

Pretty ironic too when you've got Shopify's CEO tweeting about the unfair 30% cut Apple wants: https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1362411841943711744

Notch's Livestream for Ludum Dare 21
http://www.livestream.com/mojang
The stream has started, but notch hasn't begun coding yet at the time of this writing. Those of you who don't know what Ludum Dare is, can check their website at http://ludumdare.com/ - but TL;DR: rapid game dev competition, in 48 hours - Notch (maker of Minecraft) is streaming his participation this year.
Show HN: PickCode – An educational coding environment for students after Scratch
https://www.pickcode.io/
PickCode is designed for use on desktop and tablet, and supports creating chatbots, visual designs, and 2D games. There is plenty of functionality missing - you can't add media to games for instance, but the current version shows off the foundation of what I'm aiming at.

I taught myself to code using MIT's App Inventor, so I have an enormous respect for block based languages like App Inventor, Scratch, Snap!, MakeCode, etc. PickCode is my attempt at adding options for students who want to learn more about programming without making the jump to text, or as an alternative to block coding for beginners coming to programming at an older age.

The visual language is meant to lower the barrier to entry to coding but the far more important aspect for me is giving students the ability to make things they're proud of as quickly as possible. A JS/Python API for controlling the chatbot and game engine are in the works.

As of now, there are sample programs to play with and an editor which saves your programs to local storage. Full user accounts, tutorials and administrator accounts for teachers to organize assignments are on their way soon. If you're interested in using PickCode in a classroom or want to discuss feedback, send me an email at charlie@pickcode.io
Ask HN: Where to Register a Company When Being a Traveling Digital Nomad?
Do you have any recommendation on where in the world to register a company when being a traveling digital nomad and EU citizen in Asia?

I've been reading a bit about the Hong Kong and Singapore company structures, which both offer low tax and flexibility. I would like to hear more about it from experienced people.

Thanks.
What's A Non-Programmer To Do? (How I keep myself busy.)
http://spencerfry.com/whats-a-non-programmer-to-do
I wrote a comment for Hacker News back in August in response to a guy's question about what a non-programmer should do in a startup. My response received 164 up votes and is the tenth most popular comment of all time. In this article I add some depth to most of my previous twenty bullet points.

Original comment thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=779378
Show HN: I mixed selling t-shirts with a little bit of game theory
http://getnifty.com
I had this idea rolling around in my head for the last couple of years, and I finally decided to build the damned thing just to get idea relief.

The backend is a typical LAMP stack with the Symfony2 framework backing the P. Varnish sits in front of all the Chef managed Linode boxes. The site will work without Javascript (up until the checkout), and the style degrades really nicely depending on your viewport (try it out by resizing your browser).

I'm open to all comments and critiques, so let me hear them. And if you are into graphic t-shirts, here is a code for a Hacker News 20% discount: 4803-7940-0816-5604!

Hi HN,

I've designed the site based on what I wanted a couple of years ago when I had been looking for a remote job. It's very early and any feedback is appreciated.

I've also used this opportunity to reduce some of that front-end framework fatigue by using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Edit: I'll add location and salary filters as soon as I wake up tomorrow

So this is what I built over the weekend. You click a button and indieblog.page will redirect you to a random page from a personal page...
