I love adding docs as liveview documents, makes it so easy to โ€œshow rather than tellโ€ how to use and work with it.

Weird Field World - digital book Full colour 88 page science fiction book written and illustrated by Rob Turpin.Weird Field World, Rob Turpinโ€™s first book, tells the story of how humanity breaks out from the boundaries of their limit...

A little reminder that my sci-fi book, Weird Field World, is available as a digital download.

It's 80+ pages of spaceships and world building. And I'm very proud of it. Book 2 is, still, in the works.

Deploy Empathy: A practical guide to interviewing customers Buy Deploy Empathy: A practical guide to interviewing customers by Hansen, Michele (ISBN: 9781737446606) from Amazon's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Oh that's right, it's Black Friday!

Buy my book for cheap, or don't.

Kindle is $โ‚ฌยฃ 5 bc it's nearing 5,000 copies sold!

I'd set the paperback at that price, too, but I'd make negative money so Amazon won't let me. So it's $โ‚ฌยฃ 9.99

I've often fancied setting up an Unoffice Hours, inspired by Matt Webb's thing. I should definitely do that.

Phoenix LiveView Weekly A weekly newsletter with all the latest Phoenix, LiveView and LiveView Native updates, news, articles, libraries & components.

I started phxlvweekly.com for #ElixirLang Phoenix & LiveView news a couple of years back but then started a time-intensive Ruby gig and couldn't find the time to do write a good post each week. Since I've finished that contract and am back on the freelance market, thinking I'd love to resurrect.

MailPace - Transactional Email Provider and APIMenu Transactional Email API service

We use mailpace.com for sending transactional emails. Except I can honestly never remember their name - they changed from ohmysmtp.com years ago and I *always* remember that and go there and get redirected. Was a _much_ better name if you ask me. mailpace is so generic.
