In the past I found it useful to design and layout a pen-and-paper role playing game book and export it as a print-ready PDF i could send to the printer(s). Specifically, it has CM…

For those interested in these things, here's a music/synesthesia study that I stumbled across last week that sounds pretty cool. https://researchprofiles.herts.ac.uk/portal/en/publ…

I've been a fan of the correspondent since they launched: https://thecorrespondent.com/principles Pay what you want, ad-free, paid reporters and staff, and focused on solutions ver…

I really enjoyed the graphic novel "Economix: How our economy works (and doesn't work)" by Goodwin & Burr. I found it informative, clear, concise, and funny at times, all uncommon …

In no particular order, here's the ones I've been following: - https://postmarketos.org/ - https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ - https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ I'm the most optim…

Collective bargaining at it's finest.

I haven't touched the code in a couple of years, but I wrote something combining Jekyll, Pandoc, and custom LaTeX templates for publishing my wife's novels (ebook and print). Someo…

While I basically agree, one of the arguments in the episode (as I remember it, it's been a while) is that since we ship it away, we don't see the negative results of our lifestyle…

The first time I really started thinking about this was years ago after watching the recycling episode of "Penn & Teller: Bullshit" where they essentially warn that many recycling …

I'll mention clubhouse.io every chance I get. It's billed as a Project Management software (and it's great at that) but it can be great for documentation because it: - provides hie…

Automating more Terraform stuff. First, a script that calculates what percentage of your AWS resources (15 different resources for now) are managed by the Terraform code in a given…

The best Jenkins advice I ever received was from here: https://medium.com/mindera/jenkins-a-la-travis-6c5a8debbb5b On setting up Jenkins Job Builder using a 'seed job'. This setup …

It's completely up to the publisher (or author if self-published) to enable DRM or not via a checkbox in the UI when publishing on Amazon. We've been releasing ours with the same C…

Unlike most LaTeX templates I've seen this project was written with a focus on fiction so I didn't touch anything around code blocks. I'd love to add some more templates and a stru…

That's to do with Github not displaying PDFs very well, but if you download it you can view it fine. Also, that PDF is the Adobe Pre-Flight verification of the 5x8 template. The sa…

done, MIT license added.

The repo _does_ include a sample book, but you're right, some screenshots would be nice. I actually created the tool to handle all of my wife's books but I avoided linking to them …

Thanks for sharing, I'd somehow never heard of softcover before - it looks really nice! (Not the OP, but Open-Publisher is my project).

I wrote a free tool a bit ago that wraps Pandoc/LaTeX/Jekyll and takes Markdown inputs and exports epub, mobi, and print-ready PDFs (5x8 & 6x9 Pdfx-1a compliant), specifically for …
