There's a collection of deals from indie makers, collected by Marie Ng, at https://indiemakerblackfri.glide.page/dl/d0a5f4/s/d0a5f4

Also, full disclosure (and shameless self-promotion;)), I have a deal listed in that collection. My book "Make the most of AWS Lambda with Go" is 50% off with this link: http://kevinmcconnell.gumroad.com/l/lambda-go-book/sale

The page doesn’t seem to load on iOS?

I get the top bar and the bottom “Made with Glide” button, and otherwise a white screen.

kevinmcconnell · on Nov 25, 2021

I'm seeing that now too.

Refreshing the page seems to make it load properly (for me, at least) so, while not ideal, at least there is a way to work around the problem.
