Well, just took 5 minutes to give you a quick update on this project.

I'm currtently fixing the last details... but one of them took me a lot of time, I'm talking about the page numbers.

I choosed to give a reference to each single diagram, so that I can do a link instead of the page number. that gave me a lot of rework, but I'm finally done with that. I also reworked the problem section so that the problems are now given one after each other.

What is left to do :

  • #1 I still need to fix a few diagrams - fortunatlly errors are really easy to spot in the gobook app which display them in red.
  • #2 Complete all the links
  • #3 The index of shape at the end of the book (I'm still not usure what would be the best way of doing that for small screen device...)
  • #4 Still need an image for the diagram on page 70, as the gobook format doesn't allows to draw a line between 2 columns
  • #5 find a nice cover for the book ? if anyone as some inspiration... that would be welcome but I think we need something without copyright and that would be nice if that image would be ok for charles too of course.

Maybe for later in a v2.0 : translate the book in French

Thanks for it all.

I once had an artist design a cover for Shape Up! - not the usual go book style at all. I wonder if I can find that.
