Ask HN: Advice on self-publishing?
I'm writing a couple of books on the side that I plan to self-publish (ebook and specially paperback). One of them is a 'travel book' so I don't expect many sells but the other is more ambitious.
Advice on this subject would be very helpful.
- austincheney 10y agoI don't have anything to offer from a business, expense, or marketing perspective. I do have something to offer from a technology and distribution perspective. I am not sure if this would be helpful to you, but I am working on self-hosted and self-published distribution technology. The technology is intended to move software around, but it can really be used for anything. It is language agnostic and operating system agnostic (it runs anywhere Node.js can be installed). The idea is to automate many aspects of publishing and allow a download point for multiple versions and multiple variations for a given item without subject to the limitations of a central repository. https://github.com/prettydiff/biddle https://github.com/prettydiff/biddle
