Building PayPester, which chases overdue Stripe invoices for you so you don't have to

I have friends who take forever to pay me back for Chipotle and I end up messaging them over and over until they do and freelancers deal with the same thing with clients except for them it's their actual income. So I built PayPester to do the pestering for you.You connect your Stripe account with a key that can only read invoices and every few hours it checks for anything overdue. When it finds one it drafts a reminder that starts friendly and gets firmer the longer the invoice stays unpaid, then emails it to you first so nothing goes out until you hit approve. Even then you get a minute to undo it like Gmail's undo send. It goes out under your name and replies land in your own inbox so it just looks like you followed up.It saves you the time and awkwardness of chasing people so you can spend it on other things like questioning why you gave them money in the first place 😭It only works with Stripe invoices for now so let me know what other tools you'd want it connected to. It's free while in beta and I'd love to hear what's confusing or broken, especially the Stripe connect step.
