An indie press for ebooks, SaaS, and scripts.
skipdfluff is an independent press. We write the books, code the tools, and design the pages ourselves. What you find on the shelf was made by someone whose name we know, shipped with a changelog, and priced once — not forever.
Long-form digital books on craft, attention, and independent work. Each title is edited like a real book — not a 47-chapter "ultimate guide."
Production-grade SaaS templates, CLIs, and self-hosted scripts. One-time pricing, lifetime re-downloads, readable changelogs.
Every page on this site, every book cover, every product screen — drawn and built by hand. No template farms, no purple gradients.
Essays and build notes on the blog, twice a month. The thinking that goes into the work, left in the open.

Every product ships with a semver tag and a changelog. You know when we broke something and how we fixed it.
semver + release notes →Every page is short enough to read in one sitting. Every readme answers questions the product raises.
no sales-pages masquerading as docs →Buy it, download it, keep it. No seat licensing. No expiring activation keys. No annual "increase."
free re-downloads, forever →Where it makes sense, our SaaS runs on your own box. A Docker compose file and a $6 VPS. No subscription trap.
