⁉️ FAQ
Great job!¶
Thank you!
How much is it? Where do I get it?¶
See 💵 Buy.
I found a bug / typo¶
You rock. Will you please let me know about it and/or send me a patch?
I added ten services to mario¶
You rock. Will you share what you did here?
Why can’t I get the book on my bookseller/platform/device?¶
Because I have issues. It’s lot of work, some promote DRM, they track you, it costs money, stuff like that.
When can I get one printed on actual paper?¶
Now. See 💵 Buy.
Where’s the party?¶
We should do one! I was kinda waiting for printed copies to be ready; those would be really handy for in-person gatherings.
Who’s the superhero on the cover?¶
They don’t have a name yet!
Maybe suggest one to me?
They are described in an image alt attribute for book-cover.png like so:
Book cover art with title text, author name, and featuring our Steadfast hero in a cartoon fantasy rolling-hills landscape on a partly cloudy day, holding up their hand in triumph with the apps they successfully self-host magically extending into the air. Our hero has brown-skin, a half-shaved head of dark hair, purple cape, teal shoulder puffs, white sleeves, blue gloves, brown shirt, tan equipment strap and belt, red upper leggings, teal lower leggings, and light brown boots.
Thanks to my daughter for colorfully bringing them to life.
Yay, AGPL / ugh, AGPL¶
Yep, I hear you!
I bought the book, it is rad, what next?¶
Buy one to share with a friend. Talk to your local school or public librarian to request a copy or buy one for them.
I don’t like the book¶
Dang! I tried my best. Please let me know why you didn’t like it. Consider sharing your thoughts publicly. You can also improve it or write a better one.
I can translate this, and I want to!¶
Great! See 💻 Code.
Wait, it is FOSS, I can pay for it and it is free? Why are you leaving money on the table? How can you afford to do this?¶
Those are excellent questions. Briefly:
- Yes it is FOSS and you can pay what you’re able & willing to to buy it, hopefully I’m not leaving money on the table
- if I am leaving money on the table it’s because I’m prioritizing distribution over profit, and
- I kinda can’t afford to do this. 😆 But it sure is fun!
The detailed explanation is, well, detailed. If you’re interested I could explain it over coffee or on a podcast or something.
