Nevertheless it just gave me an idea : I'm having troubles with my old car, electrical stuff. I browse the web to find answers to my questions (what's the alternator supposed to output etc...) since I find myself quite able to repair on my own. However, I often lack knowledge on technical things, I miss questions I should have asked myself or just can't find any answer to them.
So I thought it would be nice to have a web app, in the same spirit as Hunch but based on actual technical facts, helping you to get out of a problem on your own. Troubleshooting checklists.
Let's say I want to solve a problem, it would ask me a series of questions (witch may already contain the answer of my problem) leading me to a series of others topics if I need to go further. The users could contribute, add questions and answers, as well as ways they solved their problem if they did.
It could apply to any logical stuff, repairing your car, your computer ...
I know forums are supposed to help, but the human factor always seems to bias the answer you get, one person telling you the opposite of another.
I'm sure someone had this idea already, I couldn't find any website.
Do you know any ?
