It's been a busy week! Not only has my fiancee been over to visit, and we have done almost every San Francisco touristy thing (big up the cable car museum), I've made a lot of Zoneless progress.
So, I thought I'd document what's changed (well, the main things).
First, you no longer need to self-host Zoneless anymore if you don't want to - you can head to zoneless.com and just start using it for free on a managed hosting instance - it's super easy, and at the time of writing 59 people have done this already!

Second, we now have the same stripe dashboard on Zoneless - charts, layout, pages etc. all match quite similarly so it's easy to know where things are.

Third, you can now accept stablecoin payments and subscriptions via payment links and a checkout page that matches Stripe (with near-zero fees).

And finally, I've overhauled the docs and guides to look a lot nicer.

There's a lot more (and more to build!), but now I am focused on getting people using it - if you've used Stripe before I'd be super interested to hear how you get on, or if you have any feedback on the project in general - just shoot me an email!
The overall goal remains the same: an open-source payments processor that you own, with basically zero fees.
I'm excited! Back to work.
