Flowglad

Lovely time speaking with hopeful YC prospects at the office yesterday.

We just shipped a massive update to Flowglad Resource-Based Billing is live - track seats, projects, storage, or any resource with capacity limits and real-time claims. Better Auth plugin reworked with automatic organization customer resolution and improved routing. Pricing Model scoping - customers and payment methods now fully scoped to pricing models, discounts can use same code across models. Subscription lifecycle emails redesigned with trial-specific handling and professional templates. Notification preferences - per-organization controls for test mode, subscription, and payment notifications. Plus comprehensive documentation, migration testing scripts, performance improvements, and expanded test coverage. Open-source payments in under 3 minutes. What are you building?

A better YC application won’t save a bad startup. A confusing one can hurt a good one. Flowglad is hosting a small workshop tomorrow for founders applying to YC on how applications are actually read, where people overthink, and how to clearly explain your idea, traction, and team.

How we're fixing "AI Slop" with...AI? (our founding designer is cracked) Our Merchants said our emails sucked... and they we're right. 🤷♂️ - No visibility in how emails get generated 👎 - Unclear messaging sent to our merchant's customers 👎 - No branding customization 👎 Most of our email infrastructure Flowglad was built with AI spaghetti code from McDonalds 🤢 Fast and cheap calories that you'd probably regret later. So here's how Andres Gonzalez turned McDonalds spaghetti 🤢 → Cacio e Pepe from Cinque Terre. 🤤 1. 🔍 Research: He prompted Claude to generate a "make_emails_not_suck.md" (markdown file) that: - Scanned our codebase to identify issues - Suggest "best-practice fixes" that made emails scalable, highly composable, and easily maintainable. 2. ⚔️ Refine Then he used another session of Claude to review that markdown file and: - Verify issues - Scrutinize the proposed fixes - Suggest even better fixes - Identify open questions 3. ✍️ Plan Then he used another session of Claude to review "make_emails_not_suck.md" and generate a gameplan that: - Focuses on providing implementation context - Includes test coverage 4. 🚣♂️ Ship Then, he SHIPPED BABY! 🚣♂️ 🚣♂️ 🚣♂️ (literally just ask Claude to execute on the gameplan) Are you coding with AI? Let me know what your workflow is like? Super curious.

All that for 38 lines changed

lots of content incoming for 2026

Our CEO has some of the most...unique...poses when programming. Like it or not, this is what peak performance looks like.

nothing like Bowser (Randall Bennett) showing up to your event.

Building AI products is about real decisions, not demos. Plug & Play Hackathon hosted by Flowglad is a hands on workshop for founders, product leaders, and engineers exploring how AI fits into real workflows, what breaks in production, and patterns that actually scale. #flowglad #lovable #nyctech
