Setup diary: integrating Stripe Connect Express
Hour 1 — test-mode KYC?!
Hour 3 — UI labyrinth
Hour 6 — error parade
Day 2 — doc deep dive
Day 3 — shipped! 🎉
Lesson: keep going. Also, I’m wiped out.

🚀 Started learning Stripe Connect Express

Regular Stripe = YOU receive payments
Connect Express = OTHERS receive payments through YOUR platform

Building a marketplace like Mercari/Uber with:
Next.js + Prisma + PostgreSQL

Day 1: Database design

#Stripe #StripeConnect #NextJS #BuildInPublic

Seven months ago I couldn't parse anything.
Touch one file—error storm. I kept going.

Today I got my first client reply for a Stripe Connect build.

Luck? Sure. But also showing up daily.

Not a finish line—just proof I'm closer.

#SelfTaught #StripeConnect #NodeJS #Webhooks

PaymentIntent + 3D Secure = brain meltdown 🧠💥
Front → Stripe → Webhook → DB... too many moving parts, too many “why is this failing??” moments.

But hey, it finally works ！！！

Next: multi-product support & metadata validation!

#Stripe #Nextjs #WebDev #IndieDev #3DSecure

Finally beat Stripe after a week of chaos. 💀

CSRF / Origin / Rate Limit
Prisma dedupe + Idempotency

Next: Webhooks + Subscriptions ⚙️

"Let's study Stripe at the park! ☀️"

→ File sync hell (1hr)
→ Battery dead, moved to KFC
→ Google auth hell (1hr)
→ Stripe 2FA nightmare
→ Git rejects dummy .env
→ Rage deleted commit history

5-6 hours wasted. Stripe progress: 0%

*closes laptop in defeat* 💀

Learning Node.js + PostgreSQL.

ChatGPT: "Projects ensure context!"
Me: "Perfect! Show me Day18"

GPT: "Can you paste it?"
Me: "It's IN THE PROJECT"
GPT: "Search failed"
Me: "Then what does 'ensure context' mean??"

GPT: *cricket sounds* 🦗

Every adventurer needs a way into the guild hall.
Built my own login gate this time — not just borrowed magic from Firebase.
Node.js + PostgreSQL, with security wards in place. 🛡️
#IndieDev #Adventurer #SoloDev #LevelUp

Firebase was great for prototyping… until I spent 3 days fighting Firestore rules.
Not only did Firebase hit its limits — I hit mine too. 🥲
Switching to Next.js + Node.js + SQL felt like breathing fresh air.

#Nextjs #Nodejs #PostgreSQL #Firebase #DevLife

Just finished practicing the fundamentals of CRUD operations with Node.js + PostgreSQL.
Learning how to handle Create, Read, Update, and Delete is the first step toward real-world backend work.

3 hours gone just to register on a freelance site.
I thought I was a dev, but apparently I’m a professional form-filler now. 😂
Still… building apps costs money, so here we are. 💸
Does anyone else feel this pain?
#FreelanceLife #IndieDev #Relatable #DevStruggles

Tried signing up for freelance platforms…
- Same info again and again
- Clunky forms
- Endless steps
First impression: energy drain 😅
So I just quietly closed the tab.

Nearly lost myself in infinite iterations, but this LP is finally giving off the right vibe. Work in progress, petals still falling 🌸 #WebDev #UIDesign #Nextjs #React #LostInTheDesign

Side effect of development: made too many LPs, lost my mind, now mass-producing grass in Blender 🌿 Also growing dandelions 🌼

The infinite LP dev loop:
Build → Delete → Build → Delete → Sleep 😴

Sept 23 — Shūbun (Autumnal Equinox).
Day and night are equal, balance of light and dark. 🌅🌕
In Japan it’s a day to honor ancestors—not religion but gratitude.
Day is human, night sacred. When equal, the two meet.
My Waka app: capture this spirit in design.

#Waka #Design #UIUX #IndieDev

The real challenge in building my Waka app lies in strengthening the UI.
At the end of the day, it’s all about design. I’m still learning, but my goal is to translate the beauty of Japanese culture into modern UI.
How much atmosphere can I capture in a single Waka card?

Studying seasonal design at the library.
Hakuro (White Dew, Sept 7–22) is expressed with:
・transparent colors
・dew drops as motifs
・silence through empty space

It’s simple in words, but tough to bring into UI.

Man, this sucks…
I can’t focus, I can’t code.
I kept checking my work over and over, losing my sanity.
And the culprit was—
“The Neighbor’s Drill Construction.”
Come on, seriously?
I just want to code in peace!!!
