# skipdfluff

> skipdfluff is an indie press and curated marketplace for digital products — "fluff removed." It publishes ebooks edited like real books (no chapter-padding, no ultimate-guides) and ships self-hostable SaaS templates, services, and CLIs with one-time pricing and no subscription trap. An A24-for-digital-products model: a small group of builders, developers, designers, and writers shipping things made with care. Live at https://skipdfluff.com.

Two shelves organize everything: **METHOD** (how-to ebooks and field guides from skipdfluff press) and **BUILD** (SaaS admin templates, self-hosted services, and scripts/CLIs). Pricing is one-time and human-made; the house voice is plain and unhyped.
