I've been reading the "How to pay for this book" page [1] and noticed that there the author said:

> I pro­grammed a new web-pub­lish­ing sys­tem.

I seem can't find any other reference to that, and still not sure about emailing the author directly yet. My google-fu failed me on this one. Anyone know if the author's system has been published or sold?

Thanks before.

I found out about this book because the author's tweet (saying he wrote it in Racket) was retweeted by @racketlang https://twitter.com/mbutterick/status/359768757733826560


Thanks! Much appriciated!

So no, it doesn't seem to be published.
