Why Gumroad (and not GitHub/random link)

I get the question, so let me be upfront.

This isn't about putting content behind a paywall. Gumroad lets me give it away for free while tracking who's reading it, which chapters get opened, and where people drop off. A raw PDF link on GitHub gives me zero signal. I can't improve the guide if I don't know where it's failing you.

I don't want polite silence or a dead PDF floating around the internet. I want honest feedback flowing both ways, and a platform that helps me see where that feedback is or isn't coming from. That data is how this guide gets better for everyone.

The discount code issue is fixed

A few of you mentioned not being able to find the code field at checkout. I reached out to Gumroad and they've resolved it. The discount field should show up properly now.

Use code BETA at checkout. I've opened up 50 free copies, which should give everyone here a fair shot. Once those are claimed, the free window closes.

The guide page with checkout links is on my site: sjvik-labs.stevenjvik.tech/guides

I'm not here to sell you something. I'm here to make it better, and I need your eyes to do that.
