Thanks for your feedback. And yes, we are aware of the underlying copyright issues of notes or study guides as derivations of textbooks or courses. We wish we could find a satisfying middle ground. As for the contents, actually one (Linear Algebra in Diagrams) is in English, and indeed most of the upcoming guides are designed to be either purely English or bilingual. But yes, we do have some in other language as well.

You might want to consider implementing metadata sanitization and cleaning uploaded files to prevent institutions from persecuting uploaders.

  This sounds more like a last resort as we don’t pirate notes and guides. We might try to constructively solve the issue by obtaining permit from copyright holder of the original work or even register copyright for our derivative works like those notes and guides.

The "Linear Algebra in Diagrams"[1] seems interesting, but I didn't understand how I can download. Do I need to register and "purchase" even though it's $0 cost?

  Minireference is awesome! I love the style and purpose of the textbooks by minireference incorporates!

    Thank you for feedback. I try very hard to make compact explanations, but it's not always easy since some ideas are inherently complex, and once you include prerequisite topics (like `apt-get install x` pulls in dependency packages y,z,...) it ends up being hundreds of pages. Sometimes it's amazing though, you can condense a lot of material in just a few pages of notes, see for exmaple the linear algebra tutorial https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/linear_algebra_in_4_pages.pdf https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/linear_algebra_in...

  Yes. It’s practically free but you do need to sign up to purchase it. After purchase, you can always find and download it at your personal portal under “Digital Contents Owned”.

    Cool thx. I signed up and got the PDF. I'll have to print and read the proofs... In my books I go for more applied (not using general thm-proof style for each detail), so it will be very interesting to see formal proofs presented succinctly.
