I like the idea of JAMstack and will likely use it for simple toy projects. But I do not like the idea of promoting paid products on HN. this link is basically just an ad telling users to "buy the book".

There is nothing for me to read, learn or discuss on the landing page unless I buy the book.

The upvoting/downvoting mechanism should be sufficient unless you have a scenario where people are upvoting titles without reading the page.

Note to author: perhaps more enticing would be to have 4 examples, the first being a free preview of the book and rest would require payment. Then people could evaluate your tutorial style.

thanks - thats a good point - i plan on releasing the first tutorial free actually - i just haven't had the time to get that out yet, that'll be hopefully posted on freecodecamp.org in the next couple of days
