  • I’ve added some of those. Actually sharing can just be a link to the publish URL for Facebook. Not in any way different from a normal link to other websites.

    The share button usually just uses the Share API, which is handled by your browser.

    But yes, you can use the Facebook and Twitter javascript api to add additional tracking and “a more fluent experience”, but it’s usually easier to not do that.


  • I really like SEPA mandates for this. Yes, they’re pull, but you can cancel them with one click within 52 days, and the money is back in your account in a few hours (if not instantly).

    Most companies that use it are very clear, since auto-pay by law needs a reminder or the refund is an automatic legal cancellation of the contract. (Of course, this is sometimes disguised as an upsell, mostly by telco’s or “disruptive startups”).

    And they work across Europe, so my German cloud provider can use debits to pull the money from my Durch bank account.

    The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.
