I was thinking on similar lines yesterday and today made the decision of making all my ebooks free for the foreseeable future. I made bundles [0][1] so that they can all be downloaded in one shot. There are five books - three of them on regex (Ruby, Python, JavaScript) and two on cli tools (GNU grep and ripgrep, GNU sed). Currently working on GNU awk, which will take another month if I want to include everything I had planned. Now, I'm thinking of releasing as drafts and see how it goes. I plan to release book markdown source as well in coming days.

I'm currently learning some Data Science with Python (and text-wrangling via the CLI) and RegEx is something I got by without, up until now. So thank you so much!

This is really cool Sundeep, thanks for doing this! Question for you: what did you use to draw the diagrams for the "Javascript Regex" book, such as on the cover? Thanks!
