Is there anything more satisfying than reviving some random old appliance with a pdf service manual found on the internet?

The best. With very little electronic I revived some vintage stereo equipment using the original circuit board schematic diagram. I had a lot of help from YouTube and online forums, but the level of detail in the service manuals is incredible.

1) I had very similar idea, How are you planning to monetize it ? 2) 10 years back I made a similar site using manuals online.com, 3) did you look at react-pdf ?

1. We'll add some adsense ads. But all features will be always free. 3. I'll look. Thank you.

is it possible for us to talk ? @bitgur ? I have done very similar things and i am not sure if its really worth the effort. make sure u use nextjs ( static rendering ) and cloud-flare to at-least make things, fast and useable. Also, go mobile first on day 1, as google is moving to mobile 1st to rank web users,
