I was about to update my old list about LN resources too, but now seeing this, I don't have to. You saved me a lot of work. Many thanks.

I am migrating all my guides from substack to https://darth-coin.github.io/ That's why I wanted to update some, including the one I had with LN resources. Maybe is better if I will do a PR to your list :) it's easier I think.

Lots of important information. Most of it, spread all around the web.
Who's writing the "Lightning Network Node Operator Guide" book?

books are not a good format for a constantly changing field - there is new tools and new features being released relatively frequently so anything that is not a living document is doomed to be stale at the time of printing

Exactly that I was about to respond. I was struggling even with my guides to keep them updated. Things in Bitcoin are changing so fast and so often that is quite hard to keep up with them. I was thinking too to write a book based on my guides, but I renounce the idea, exactly because of that: will became obsolete in matter of months.

@aljaz @DarthCoin I understand the problem and I agree that books have a limited life when applied to constantly evolving technology.
However, for someone who is starting, consuming a list of links to separate sources with different writing styles, without a coherent narrative and line of thought, is a crappy experience and will leave a person with many holes in his knowledge.
For example, when learning something new from scratch, I like to read a good book to lay the ground to further explorations.
But again, that question about who's writing the book, was a small joke.

who's writing the book
You are welcome to take all my guides, are open source and free here https://github.com/Darth-Coin/darth-coin.github.io (website here) and put them into a book as you like 😂😂😂
I really understand you man, a nice coffee table book with all these will be good.
