Congrats, the description sounds like a good mystery! It'd be interesting to read more about the tooling and process you used, even if you don't release everything open, maybe you could write/blog about it?

I was also looking if there was a Wikipedia page about Software Engineers/Programmers who were also fiction writers. I know Andy Weir from Martian was a programmer. I thought Neal Stephenson would have some background in programming, but looks like he never wrote software professionally.

I made a new post about EPublish itself here: https://frequal.com/epublish/
Nice post! Short and simple to read. Is epublish on GitHub or somewhere? It looks simpler than previous approaches I've seen.

I had the chance to help a bit with one of the AOSA books. It was a very powerful pipeline, but also quite complex to manage. IIRC it used pandoc (and a lot other tools).

So having a simpler alternative like epublish would be interesting if I have to work on another book in the future.

EDIT: sorry, just went to the main thread, and saw there you replied to another user it's not open source "yet" (hooray)
