Trust basics
Review the independent product scope, support boundaries, analytics disclosure, and what the HoneKit Starter Bundle does not promise before using these launch guides.
Price update
HoneKit Starter Bundle is now positioned as a $9 launch-price starter kit.
The lower price is meant to reduce first-purchase friction for small teams that need support, onboarding, feedback, and refund/access templates before they are ready for heavier support software or custom consulting.
Choose the right guide
Use the smallest useful checklist for the stage you are in.
Choose the guide that matches the decision in front of you. Start with the route below, then move only to the next checklist when it answers a different launch question.
- Still shaping the offer? Start with the starter-kit guide to write the promise, package the files, and set safe support boundaries.
- Writing the buyer welcome file? Use the START-HERE file template for a focused first-use path, file map, adaptation notes, and privacy-safe support handoff.
- Preparing the first public checkout? Use the launch checklist to verify the buyer path, download evidence, privacy boundary, and first-sale support flow.
- Already using Gumroad-style checkout? Review the Gumroad pre-promotion checklist for page/file mismatch, refund-window clarity, and promotion-copy risk.
- Getting buyer questions? Pull from the support and refund macros to answer access, ZIP, expectation, and sensitive-data cases without promising custom consulting.
- Troubleshooting a ZIP that will not open? Follow the digital-download ZIP troubleshooting checklist to separate purchase access, download, extraction, and inner-file problems before sending minimum-data support evidence.
- Using AI to draft a support reply? Run the privacy-safe AI support prompt checklist to minimize buyer data, ground claims, review every sentence, and stop sensitive cases before sending.
- Sorting scattered feedback? Use the customer feedback triage workflow to separate observations from assumptions and route each signal to support, documentation, bug investigation, or a watch queue.
- Checking buyer-file accessibility? Run the digital download accessibility quick check for headings, text alternatives, contrast, keyboard and zoom behavior, format fallbacks, and an honest release record.
Each guide handles a separate product-readiness decision and links back to the trust pages in the footer, so you can use one focused checklist without reading the full library.
What changed recently
Recent reader-facing updates.
HoneKit is maintained through small, visible quality passes. The latest release added a digital-download ZIP troubleshooting checklist that separates purchase access, download, extraction, and inner-file problems; documents built-in Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android paths; and keeps support handoff limited to useful non-sensitive evidence.
- Trust pages: About, Privacy, Terms, and Contact now explain analytics, hosting logs, checkout handoff, refund windows, and sensitive-data boundaries.
- Guide depth: Existing articles use practical worksheets and FAQ examples, while each new route must answer a distinct buyer or founder task.
- Reader checks: Links, page descriptions, source notes, support boundaries, and privacy guidance are reviewed alongside the concrete checklist on each page.
