We've been happy beta users of Stripe's new customer portal for several weeks. Integration was fast, saved us writing a bunch of code, and our customers have Stripe-quality UIs for managing their cards and subscription. Highly recommended, especially for fellow bootstrappers!

Great news: Tuple now supports sharing two-way video during pairing sessions! Gone are the days of trying to guess your pair's mood from just their voice. With a video feed, it's obvious when they start to zone out ;)

For a while, folks have been asking for the ability to start a Tuple call without screen sharing. This makes sense! Sometimes it's nice to discuss who's going to drive before you begin pairing (and is handy for things like checking your email during a break). (more below...)

We decided we wanted to support this, but it was pretty tricky to implement. Turns out the assumption that a call has an active screen share associated with it was baked very deep into Tuple's internals.
