Hi there,

Last week, during a random maintenance check, I discovered a massive error on the Hulry Patrons website — no one could buy me a coffee.

Digging deep into the issue, I found out that the currency conversion API I used to convert USD → INR has silently switched to requiring an API key.

When I integrated the service, it didn't require an API key or an account to work. When it switched to asking for a key, there was no communication.

Biggest facepalm moment ever. 🤦

Anyway, I switched to a new API, and things are working smoothly now. So, if you have tried to buy me a coffee recently, I'm sorry for the broken experience.

I'll be more vigilant in doing routine checkups on my 3rd party integrations.

Now, moving on:

Grab a coffee, sit tight, and enjoy this week's issue:
