Does it work in TEST mode? Have you tried taking a LIVE payment yourself (wait 7 days and see what happens).
Sometimes I find it is that people have cards such as Revolut that they have little balance and will only add credit to the card as and when. Which means they may forget to add sufficient balance for when the trial ends.
I know I purposefully do what Michael said so I get a reminder when something doesn't go through so I can re-evaluate if I want to continue paying the subscription.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
Also, you said "most" don't go through, which mean some are? If so, it's probably not your back-end setup. If you have a 0% conversion rate from trial to paid, I'd look into that ASAP.
I checked people are using different cards from different banks, except for 3 accounts that use the same cc of Adam Bino which is not their name. Mostly these are debit cards, but there are also CC that fail. Stripe reports normal risk and no theft for these cards.
I guess for debit/prepaid cards I can turn off accepting payments in stripe? For credit cards maybe I can start charging $1 at the start of the free trial to filter fake/stolen cards.
It's surprising to me that Stripe still has loopholes.
Simple and gets you going and totally free and has no streaming issues
I contacted journalists who display their "portfolio" on this site: muckrack.com/beat/tech
You can find that they regularly feature in magazine, columns, etc. which can help if you want to find tech writers of that caliber.
"following my dopamine" - superpower right there
Odd question: but wonder if it's been asked before. Me and my wife talk through things pretty well in an open and non-judgmental manner. Do I still need to journal, or are the questions based around opening feelings and "communicating to oneself"?
I love this question and your relationship with your wife sounds really healthy for this - sincere congrats, it takes work! I don't think you need to journal by any means, and honestly for some people it sticks for years, for some just a month gives so much learning to yourself, and others hate it. It's fine if you try!
When you freewheel you can journal about whatever but in the prompts based version (and like the MindJournal which has a lot of structure) it will be more about questions for yourself, your life, your thoughts. I think one of the big things is emotional identification and working them out. This is a learning many people need to go on but in my work we notice it tends to affect men more generally - being able to identify emotions beyond a few common ones. I remember one great interview and the guy told me I listened to my friend and he thought he was really angry, and it occurred to me it was actually grief. He wasn't angry, he was grieving but he didn't realize. In sessions sometimes I'll ask how would you identify the difference between anger and frustration, for example (it's hard, most people can't initially!). I think journalling can help a lot with this and then in general your state of mind, reviewing positions or thoughts, and improving life if you feel you need it.
Matthew McConnaughey released a journal too off the back of his book and this one is less structured but it still provides prompts. You can go wild a bit more - I did it myself to test out it for others and quite liked it. I think it's good if you can team it up with a nice moment for yourself (i.e. evening drink and fifteen minutes when you feel like it).
It has android, iOS, etc. and desktop app
same that the one in the screenshot :)
I rarely open chat apps. I only have 1 - beeper.com - I've been using it for several months now

I bake the "tons of ideas" all into 1 thing, for example: scoredetect.com
Because it is chock full of features, there is no need to juggle another "big idea". Instead, I set a goal 1-year from now and build it. Based on customer feedback, I reiterate the product/s and make it work. By focusing on "1 big thing" you train yourself to avoid the "shiny object syndrome" and instead use that shiny object into your product. This is 1 tactic amongst the others in the comments here.
This is really cool. BTW I love your landing page
