https://dipstickalerts.com - I've been working on this during my kid's naps.

The web app allows car owners in the U.S. to see a list of all the service bulletins the manufacturer has sent out about your car over the years (called Technical Service Bulletins or TSBs). You can subscribe for new bulletins to be sent to your email as well.

These service bulletins are not only recalls but also fixes for known issues with the car.

I found reading these bulletins super helpful for my own car. There were some symptoms I would have never noticed without reading through these bulletins. For example: the tailgate did not lift up all the way in cold weather. Turns out this was fixed and covered under the extended warranty.

The infrastructure is all built on top of Cloudflare workers. I use Gemini Flash Lite to summarize and filter the bulletins.

This is my first web app (thank you AI) so any feedback is welcome!
