I'm the founder / indie developer behind namesuppressed. I make Photoshop plug-ins & desktop apps (occasionally mobile apps), and sometimes do freelance work.

I also run IndieConference.com: a free curated email newsletter of conferences for indie developers, bootstrappers, indie musicians, digital nomads and other independent / DIY folks. It's been on hiatus since the pandemic though, it kinda killed off conferences.

Basically I love making products & being a solo developer.

I'm pro-AI but anti-slop, an active Claude Code Max user. I occasionally dabble with other models but keep coming back to Claude. Opus 4.5 is an inflection point.

I'm Australian & live in Perth. Pre-pandemic I used to travel between Sydney & Melbourne, and to Berlin & Malmo when I had the opportunity. In 2025 I got to spend a few months in upstate New York. I hope eventually I can travel again soon.

I don't use Hacker News much anymore. Maybe I'm too old for it now, I find myself rolling my eyes at many of the comments here.

If you've found this profile, feel free to email me. I'm happy to help HN people and I do try to reply to everyone when I can.

It's up to the company, but since many companies don't want to keep card numbers around (and some processors don't let you see the card number anyway), they're probably more likely to block on identity. Maybe flag the IP address of the transaction for "additional screening" on all future transactions, etc.

Before anyone gets the impression that the whole thing was done by AI (like I did), it seems this wasn't vibe coded, more AI-assisted:

"Generative AI (Large Language Models) have been used for research and debugging help in the course of this project. Small amounts of boilerplate code have also been written by LLM (C++ class and interface definitions). I do not intend to make this a "Vibe Coded" project. Pull requests automatically generated by a LLM tool will not be accepted."
