Today's the day: Writebook is here! And it's free.

Blogging and posting on social is easy. But why is it so hard to publish a whole book on the web? It’s not anymore. Writebook is remarkably simple software that allows you to publish text and pictures in a simple, browsable online book format.
It's perfect for publishing instruction manuals), a collection of short stories, poetry, graphic novels, handbooks, and anything that fits better together than apart.
Writebook isn't a service, it's software you download and install on your own server. We've made it incredibly easy to get going — it just takes a few minutes. Even non-technical folks can get it all set up. We'll email you a single command you paste into a terminal and it takes care of the rest. No maintenance required either, it takes care of itself, auto-updates, etc.
And it also comes with all the Rails code so you can see how it's built, modify it for your own use, and learn how applications like this are made.
So, grab it and dive in! We'd love to see what you publish.

I am currently leading a talented software team that is available for new projects!
I've been building technology for startups for 20+ years. From 2010 to 2018 I was the founding engineer and Vice President of Engineering at Slice. Now I'm leading a team of full-stack developers in Macedonia, building software, web products, and content solutions.
For over five years, I've been working in Macedonia with a hand-picked team. This includes five full-stack developers with between six and four years of experience each. It also includes two product support staff, supporting the team with product management and QA. Our eight-person team works together in-person in our office in Struga, Macedonia. We aren't just a collection of engineers and workers -- but a team with years of experience working together.
We have experience building web products including e-commerce, marketplaces, line-of-business admin systems, APIs, headless CMS, local business solutions. More recently we have been excited to build with new GPT/LLM AI technology -- not just chatbots or GPT wrappers but building AI capabilities deeply into business workflows and customer products.
We work according to industry standards and best practices for software development. This includes writing great, well-architected code that we're proud of, cloud-first infrastructure, continuous delivery, automated testing, and all the usual practices you'd expect professionals to use to write high-quality software. We use our deep experience launching and scaling to high volume to build products that can form the foundation for your business, and at a value designed to serve startups with a need to launch quickly at a fixed price.
We have immediate availability for a new engagement. The fee for myself together with my whole team is a flat $40,000 USD per month. We are open mainly to time-boxed engagements to launch web software products for startups. We would also consider other arrangements. For example, under the right circumstances we would be glad to become your new in-house development team if you're looking to take over ongoing development of your Rails-based web product.
Contact me today at [email protected] if you'd like to discuss our offering and work. And any sharing or passing this along is very much appreciated!
My team and I are now available for new clients and projects! I am based in New York, and I lead a team of software developers in Macedonia. We are well-suited to build technology for startups, or to maintain and develop existing software products.

Started using @tailwindui for one of our projects and IMO it’s worth the money. We were able to completely finish two big pages in two days (with 100% responsiveness). Thank you @adamwathan and the team for making our lives much easier!
Hello #Rubyists and newbies to programming. It’s my pleasure to announce that TryRuby is now available in Macedonian! 🥳 Start learning Ruby programming language through an interactive shell in Macedonian language here: https://t.co/84vQjFulGe @mk_rug@RailsGirlsSk
It’s quite inspirational how @GordonRamsay at @masterclass makes cooking look so easy and smooth, whether it’s making and rolling pasta dough, or breaking down a salmon. 👏🏻
I love how considerate @basecamp is towards people. Today, they warned me that I might make Ben very, very sad. I think @basecamp/@dhh should consider different emotions, so I made small adjustments to the content. 🤣
