Seeking Beta Readers for Node.js Deep Dive (Working Title)

I'm writing my fourth book. This time, it's about Node.js.

What happens to performance when V8's hidden classes break? How does AsyncLocalStorage track async/await chains? How does Prototype Pollution actually lead to RCE? — This book seeks to answer these questions at the code and source level.

I've currently completed Parts 1-5 out of 10 total parts, and I'm working on Parts 6-10. The content written so far is already about 65% of my previous book <<Web Performance Deep Dive>>, so I expect the completed version will be longer than my previous work.

This Beta Reading Round is Different

With my previous book <<Web Performance Deep Dive>>, the beta reading period overlapped with the publication schedule, so I could only incorporate some of the valuable feedback I received. That was quite disappointing.

This time, I plan to carefully incorporate all feedback from beta readers before submitting the manuscript to the publisher. I don't want to let any opinions slip by due to schedule pressure. So I'd appreciate it if you could provide feedback across all chapters.

• I'll invite you to a private GitHub repository. The reading period is March 1, 2026 ~ May 31, 2026, and you can read chapter by chapter as completed sections are released, leaving feedback as you go.
• There's no set format. Feel free to write in the corresponding GitHub issues.
  • However, since the author is quite sensitive (F-type personality), I'd appreciate warm words of encouragement rather than aggressive criticism. 😉
• Please also write a 4-5 line beta reader review to be included at the front of the book.
  • The editorial team will review it, so you don't need to put too much effort into polishing.
  • Please don't use generative AI. The writing needs a human touch 😭

Perks

• Your message as a beta reader will be published in the front of the book.
• I'll gift you a copy of the book upon publication.
• I'll fulfill one request within my capabilities. 🙏

FAQ

• Can I apply even if I don't have much Node.js experience? — Yes, no problem. Even if you've only used Express/Nest, that's fine.
• Do I need to read all chapters? — Yes, please read all chapters if possible. Since I wrote this book while learning myself, there might be mistakes, so I'd appreciate your thorough review.

• I was a beta reader for your previous book. Can I apply again? — Yes, no problem at all.
