Manning is a riddle. The book end of things in terms of editors and authors is great, but the product end is thoughtless / buggy garbage. Examples:- Bought a physical book, but the website doesn't tell me if it is shipped. No tracking too- Bought a LiveBook only to find the syntax formatting is garbage. It's not hard, but they've apparently chosen to hand roll something that does stupid stuff like highlighting the word "is" in a string constant. Also adds whitespaces and indents where it shouldn't.- Bought audio with a LiveBook, only to find out the hover over to get to a play button doesn't work most of the time. Depends on the paragraph- If you don't like a book format, guess what, full price to get another format. e.g. to get a pdf version when you have a LiveBookSo in summary, I love the content but absolutely hate the product end. The developers / product folks at Manning need to up their game.
