    I enjoyed reading the first few chapters, but wanted a PDF as well. I run browserless.io, so threw a quick script together to PDF-ify this. Gist is here: https://gist.github.com/jo…

    This seems decent in Theory, though I'm not familiar if GraphQL mutations can handle conditionals. Cool idea though, but that might be a deal breaker for a lot of folks

    Hey folks, Joel here, I'm the original maker behind browserless. You've seen us before on HN -- I'm very sorry for this situation. We didn’t intend to SPAM you or send unsolicited …

    Just JS for now since it compiles and runs entirely in the browser

    This is exactly the same thought I came to with browserless.io. There simply wasn’t enough traffic to make informed decisions, and when there was it was really silly things (small …
