Also I think your model of "buying" a free copy is a great idea. Then if you think the content is worthwhile consider the second purchase a donation.

I dunno but I'm the author and I think it is pretty useful :). The guides have hundreds/thousands of stars on Github and I think some folks found it useful.

I'm using this publishing model because that is how modern scientists do it - avoid the traditional publishers so you can offer content for free or relatively cheap.

Didn't say I used it for blogging :)

Good god please fix the scrolling. FWIW I immediately switch to reader mode, which strips all your ads/everything but the text out, because the scroll interaction is broken.

Regarding the "unreadable" text mentioned above, site-author should see here for more info:

Is it your blog?

I'm on a mac too, and the scrolling is completely broken. It scrolls "page by page".

I hope you take the time to fix it. Since your article made it to the front page of HN I'm sure it must be a good article. But I don't have any way of reading it, which makes me very sad.

Please take the time to fix your scrolling issue.

It totally breaks when you already have smooth scrolling on OS X.

Yea, same for me.. I can't zoom in on this page on my mac using chrome to read the font more easily using the pinch to zoom function that literally works on all pages except this one.. I have to go into the browser page zoom function to increase size..

Scrolling just fine on this Mac.
