Is there anyway to see a sample or demo of this guide? I couldn't find anything that really showed what this guide would be like. I like the minimalism, but it could use some more content IMO.

Im not seeing anything I'm willing to sign up or pay money for. You have to provide some sort of example so people can make an informed decision as to whether they will pay you for more content. Personally as it stands I wouldn't. I don't mean to sound brutal.

It's hard for me to know if this is something I want to do (and therefore feel inclined to pay money for a guide educating me on how to go about doing it) when the "Layouts" chapter is one of the ones that's locked behind the paywall.

This is actually super useful feedback. The actual experience or quality of information isn't portrayed or accessible anywhere before the paywall. Thanks!

This may be what you were looking for. Probably added due to feedback.
