Publish and sell digital books without an app-store gatekeeper.
Self-publishing across 45+ knowledge domains meant depending on Amazon's walled garden for authoring, pricing, and distribution.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
Self-publishing digital books across 45+ knowledge domains required a platform that handled authoring, editing, and distribution without relying on Amazon's walled garden.
After
Created an independent publishing pipeline for knowledge domain books. Authors retain full control over content, pricing, and distribution while the platform handles formatting and delivery.
How it's solved
Built a book publishing platform with a markdown-based editor, version control for chapters, EPUB/PDF export, and a distribution layer for direct sales. Docker-based deployment ensures reproducible builds.
Trade-offs
Distribution is direct-to-reader only for now — no built-in marketplace discovery the way Amazon provides.
