I’m so happy this project is picking up the fork. Gitbook was a great project, but they really moved everything to their SaaS with artificial barriers to just using the software.

It was cool that they left cli around, but as abandonware.

I thought it strange that it was such a non open source behavior to only support their monthly service even though one of the main benefits I see in static site generators is the flexibility of hosting and cost.

I feel bad for them as it must be a hard business to compete with Bookdown and other projects.
