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 refund requests out of 850 purchases. Not sure what else to add here. Code speaks for itself, I am just no-name guy in the cabin in the middle of the forest, with hotspot and generator. I have early-stage SaaS business with few paying customers but nothing to brag about it: https://async-await.com If I were you I would not buy this book. At least one author is not a celebrity =)
In Show HN: Wrote book that builds a SaaS boilerplate. Save weeks on side projects
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 AWS Lambda, webhook from Stripe and many more. Is there name for boilerplate with "popular" features? The book's code is actually free and hosted here: https://github.com/async-labs/saas/tree/master/book We charge for book's content which is bunch of explanations and diagrams.
