One Wish for Leanpub: Local PDF Builds

“So to be honest with you, I think the spec is really easy. I mean, it's Markdown, right? It's Markdown-esque, with some things about it. … What I really wish is that you could locally build the PDF. Only because going up and having to generate it manually and bringing it back down, when you're just trying to figure out where an image goes or whether you got a chapter. … Or maybe even just like you can toggle a switch and have it do like an automatic build, right? So that when I'm doing things and I'm checking things in and I'm finding problems, I can just go up and download it.”
