Thanks for taking your time to commit to this, I was wondering if you had an RSS feed rather than the email subscription option? I tried a few feed readers and couldn't discover RSS or ATOM feeds present. (Although I may have missed it as on my phone at present)

I don't. My blog has one, but the hand-rolled static site generator I use for the book doesn't do that. It's pretty minimal. My impression (for better or worse) is that few people use RSS these days, so it didn't seem like a great use of my time to get it set up. If you don't want to join the mailing list for whatever reason (though it is quite low traffic), you could follow me on twitter too (@munificentbob). I tweet whenever a new chapter is up.

  Ah I see, if you use Jekyll or Hugo they will generate the feeds for you so I'm assuming it's something else? Personally I've found that RSS is more popular than ever, especially in the tech space as the number of news sources available these days is so large partly due to the number of individual blogs out there and services like feedly along with wonderful apps like reeder.

    > I'm assuming it's something else? Yes, I hand-rolled a little build script tailored specifically to the book.

      Hey that's neat that you rolled your own build for your needs though.

        Yeah, it was a deliberate choice to hack together something simple. Otherwise, I'd spend countless hours tinkering with frameworks and libraries and never actually write the damn book.
