Cool book!
Humble suggestion: Give more specific examples of what the reader will learn on the landing page. From the landing page, I don't know if this is for total command line beginners or has helpful tips for people familiar with bash already. I had to hunt around to find sample pages, and they provided much better sense of what's in the book.
Also, spotted some small issues in the copy:
"Fresh out of press" - The more common expression is "hot off the press." "Out of press" sounds similar to "out of print" (i.e., no longer sold)
"Grok the Linux command line on only 120 pages" - should be "in only 120 pages"
- petr25102018 1y agoTrue, the landing page could be more detailed. I didn't want to repeat much the info on Gumroad page, but maybe I should rethink it. And thanks for the copy suggestions. I am not a native speaker :)
- frosting1337 1y agoI definitely think you should add more info to the landing page - I had no idea there was further information on the Gumroad page.
- rubit_xxx17 1y agoI’m excited about this book and appreciate your work! One thing that was distracting was the large title font when I tried to view this site in portrait mode on mobile, as some of the letters are cut off. If that could be fixed, it would help ensure people stay engaged and read it. You could also potentially use an LLM or something like Grammarly to help proofread it (not edit it). This is very cool!
- petr25102018 1y agoThank you! Yes, as other people pointed out too, the landing page could do with some mobile and copy improvements.
- wyclif 1y agoA note on English: "Fresh off the press" is the colloquialism you're looking for, not "Fresh out of press."
