$79 USD for an eBook?! Me no think so! Make a print edition for $29 USD and I'm all in. Otherwise, this is outrageously priced.

@joshuapinter $79 for an ebook of years of professional real world experience and top notch in-depth step by step tutorial videos. If these co-founders put in just 1% of amount of effort into this book and it's content as much as they did w/ their marketing your $79 didn't go towards some curated old ass blog posts being sold as an ebook. Plus, if $79 is too steep for you, send the link to your family and hint this would be a great Christmas present ;-)

@helengriffinjr You sound like a rich shill. The last people I would get to spend this much money on an eBook is my family.

@joshuapinter nope not a rich shill... I just learned over the years to invest in myself if I'm going to grow my business, finances. You can always go the sales route and sell a product or service to fund purchasing an ebook or whatever you choose to educate yourself. Financial independence and generational wealth isn't built by complaining how expensive something is. If I see something outside my price range I say to myself Aw hell nah but I keep it moving. By no means do I waste my talents on ruining another man's chance to feed his family w/ negative reviews about price. BONUS tip - get 4 of your dev buddies to chip in $16 to buy RefactoringUI if you see value in it's content. Drop that bad boy into google drive and y'all share the ebook. Start your own bootstrapped startup library. BOOM! Good luck, bruh!

@helengriffinjr It's clear you have very little idea what you're talking about. You have no idea what my current financial status is and whether or not I'm already financially independent (Hint: I'm doing just fine, thanks - and very little luck was actually required. Mostly just a lot of hard work and constantly increasing value for our customers.) This has nothing to do with that. It has to do with something that is poignant whether you have a single dollar in the bank or ten million. That magic word I've already used: "value". Never forget it. It can be used for a foot long Subway sandwich and it can be used for a 2010 Porsche Turbo. It transcends absolute monetary amounts and takes a lot of factors in to attribute a more meaningful worth to a product or service. Even more important is that Product Hunt was not built to be limited to positive reviews and to mute objections and negative feedback. That's how we learn. I know this because I've launched real things on here before. My feedback on pricing could be some of the most valuable feedback they get. If this was _my_ eBook I know I would certainly appreciate the feedback and take it to heart, even if I disagreed with it. Anyway, I don't have all night to wax lyrical, I've gotta get busy starting my "own bootstrapped startup library".

Big day for product people who wants to learn design, Refactoring UI is out 🎉 As a designer, I can say the content is gorgeous, full of great tips. Lot of knowledge and tricks designers are learning over the years by doing, you can jump start your knowledge right now! Congrats to @steveschoger & @adamwathan for their awesome work and the new opportunities they're providing 👏🏻

Definitely pricier than I thought it'd be and I'd love to see that cost subsidize access to those who couldn't otherwise afford it but it was still an easy decision to buy based on all of the content I've seen leading up to this release. edit It'd also be great to see this in at least an iBooks format in addition to just PDF, especially for the price.
