    I've been working with a few web dev friends (and fellow indie hackers) on some awesome Black Friday e-book/course bundles, they'll be going live on Friday!

    The Dev Career Bundle:

    The Frontend Dev Bundle:

    • The Jamstack Handbook by Colby Fayock
    • Learn useEffect over Lunch by @dceddia
    • Server Template for Busy Hackers by @maximization
    • Vim for VSCode by @jsjoeio

    Both bundles are $20 and you're saving up to $70 if you buy both bundles during Black Friday.

    Cool under the hood thing โ€” it's using Stripe to accept payments and then immediately splits the money from each purchase equally between every author. I'm not taking any fees, just pretty stoked to work with this cool collection of folks and help people learn over the holidays!

    Check them both out on the new Bytesized Deals website, the buy buttons will go live on Friday at midnight PST:
