I make things. I make software, hardware, and softgoods. Because I have a full time job at a tech company and way too many hobbies, I try to automate everything that I have to do more than a few times a week. It’s obvious that I usually use a Raspberry Pi to automate things and this is how this website was born.

This database was created out of frustration trying to locate a Raspberry Pi product in the height of the chip and supply chain shortages of 2021. I got tired of visiting multiple websites every day trying to figure out if there were any Raspberry Pi’s in stock. I coded this website in a few days during my spare time and had it hosted on a Raspberry Pi for a couple of weeks before deciding to make it publicly available. It was moved to shared hosting provider for over a year but in August of 2023, it is again being hosted on a Raspberry Pi.

Although they are not as hard to find nowadays, Raspberry Pi computers were almost impossible to come by without a notification system during the so-called “Pi Shortage”. If you find this website useful, share with someone that might also find it useful. There is no share button, so you’ll have to go old school and copy/paste the link.
