SelfPubKit – write, publish, monetize books on your own▲13
Hi HN, I made a tool for self-publishing authors called SelfPubKit.com. The all-in-one editor allows you to write chapters, export them to epub, pdf. You can also publish product as a standalone website with direct payments set up with your Stripe account which means you get 100% of payments minus Stripe’s fee. The idea came about when I wanted to write a short guide myself. Anyhow, let me know what you think. I’ll share tech details in the comment below.
