What is GP? We had under 10 refunds, in all cases we refunded people. There are zero cases when access is taken away without refund. Terms say no refunds because we have no time to refund but we always did in a past since we got request in

Sorry if I misunderstood. I cannot and I don't want to convince every potential buyer individually to buy a book. Imagine a farmer's market, you ask how much is a bundle of garlic, seller says $20, you don't like a price or s

I can't promise since I don't know how much time it would take. I plan to start partially re-writing our first book (Build Book) later this month plus a new feature for Async. So no time really in the near future. Is `sequelize` a

I think you don't need to buy first book to understand second book if you already built a simple web application with this or similar stack. Later this month I plan to somewhat re-write first book, many packages push changes often (Nex

Thanks for feedback. Each chapter has ample of free excerpt (10-20% of total content), all code is public under MIT license: https://github.com/async-labs/saas This worked well for us so far. We received less than 10 r

Thanks for your comment. The `Team` data model is per Team Leader and not visible to other customers. `Team` "contains" `Discussion` and `Post` data models. So same application on the same hardware serves multiple customers. Is th

Wow weird. Works for me but web app is slow now and I don't think it is a good idea to redeploy right now. After clicking button, you should be asked to log in and then redirected to checkout page hosted by Stripe. Would you try later

Thanks. Just to clarify a problem. Does it not open and/or links don't work?

I laughed hard. Your own code. Yes, the name "boilerplate" is deceiving here. Not sure where to draw the line. This boilerplate does have some features - websocket with rooms, working with Markdown, S3 file uplod, API Gateway with

We haven't implemented any discount system from the beginning. We are only two and we do books only part-time. We do get emails asking for discounts but I personally feel that it is unfair to the previous buyers. But I am keeping an op

Co-author here. We find it to be ok price for us. - Quantitative evidence, we have over 150+ pre-orders in the last 3 month which is more than good for us. No advertising, no social media. We sold first book 700 times. So that's 100-12

We talked to Quora's CEO about 2 years ago about premium content and alternative business models, including subscription. There was no interest at the time and advertising was a sole focus for business model. CEO never followed up. Sad

I believe a change must come from bottom up and not from top down. Management won't change since they have little incentive to do so. Employees who are not happy with synchronous office work with a lot of interruptions should quit and

Thanks for the comment. Valid point. It encourages me to write tutorials to shorten the learning curve. Building a tool for non-developers is too much effort for me. I should mention that some parts of the stack, say MobX, has a shorter lea
