Second the link sharing idea!


This looks like it could be very helpful. One question, how is it different than what was announced by the Reserve Bank of India earlier this year? [1]

We're also a part of the same initiative.

Behind the scenes story below :

Until last year, there was no way for Indian fintechs to provide UPI services to international citizens.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) decided in January 2023 to issue UPI enabled wallets to international citizens visiting India during G20.

We got a call late at night asking if our team can quickly deliver this solution.

Our team stepped up and the first version was delivered within 30 days.

This app was used to showcase UPI to various the G20 delegates who visited Bangalore in February.

We've spent another 5 months tweaking things and finally, we feel ready to launch the app in front of you :)


That's an impressive feat.


who called?


In our case, it was someone from the RBI


modi's party


RBI (India's central bank) doesn't implement the actual user facing stuff. If you read the article, it's two banks and two non-banks. One of those is Transcorp. Cheq UPI seems to be using Transcorp's backend.

Have you seen PlantUML [1]? You create your diagrams in text in their DSL which is fairly intuitive.

There’s a hosted version of the rendering engine here [2] though it’s easy enough to run locally.

git natively supports having multiple pushurls per remote[1], so you should be able to do this OOTB

FYI, the reindex API was added as experimental in 2.3, so it's been there for about a year [1]. Even as experimental it worked great.

Ha. I just came here to edit my comment. I remember seeing it before and just checked the docs again. In 5.2 it's STILL considered experiential. Craziness. It took me about an hour to build The basic functionality myself.


Thank you for noticing this, it is not considered experimental anymore. I integrated a change[1] to update the docs; it should percolate through to the site within thirty minutes.

FYI, the re-index API is awesome.


Great work. It appears to have already percolated.

I know you were being helpful but it's probably best if we detach this from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12341440 and mark it off-topic.

Yep Paul Buchheit runs YC Core. Here's a more in-depth article about the "new" structure: http://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-paul-buchheit-ali-...
