嗨，我叫乔丹。这段话是我亲手写的，没有用任何AI，是写给你们？还是写给我自己？我也不知道。<p>我知道现在大家的注意力都很短暂，但我还是想分享一下我的想法。如果你正在阅读这篇文章，请知道它是一位人类写给另一位人类的。<p>一年多前，我开始着手开发Modern Mechanic，起因是我对花了2000多美元买的Matco扫描工具感到非常失望。我获得了一小笔资金，并说服了我的投资者让我完全免费发布这款工具。没有广告，没有专业版，也没有订阅。它只是一个为所有拥有汽车的人提供的实用工具。<p>它有什么不同之处？它的设计初衷是为了帮助你，而不仅仅是翻译一些信息。<p>自然语言输入——描述你听到的、闻到的或感觉到的<p>由AI驱动的诊断，远不止读取故障码<p>与你已拥有的任何OBD2读取器（或根本不需要读取器）配合使用——无需专有硬件<p>支持任何年份/品牌/型号——甚至包括定制改装和发动机更换<p>用通俗易懂的语言解释、提供维修指南、预估费用和视频教程<p>如果你遇到困难或需要额外帮助，可以联系真正的技师<p>我们会帮你找到值得信赖的当地技师，并以尽可能低的价格为你预约维修服务<p>还有很多其他功能<p>我们所有的一切都是内部手工打造的，包括CAN总线位解析，这意味着可能会偶尔出现一些错误。但这也意味着我们可以永远免费提供这款工具。<p>现在我在这里，需要你的帮助。请支持一家小型初创公司。我不会向你收取月费。我没有任何课程或项目要卖给你。我没有任何能让你发财的东西。<p>但是，如果你拥有一辆汽车，并且厌倦了那些不关心消费者的企业，也许可以加入我的候补名单，并帮助我证明，通过免费为人们提供价值是可以成功的。<p>下载/候补名单：[modernmechanic.us]<p>很乐意回答关于技术、商业模式或其他任何问题。我还做过风险投资（VC）推介、产品设计，并经营过其他几家公司——很乐意帮助其他人在创业的道路上走得更远。
目前，如果你想支持我们并获得创始人专属礼包，请点击链接，这没有任何强制要求，该应用程序将免费发布，但它有助于我们为其提供资金，并且你将获得很酷的福利 :P

Hi my name is Jordan. This was all written by hand without AI, for you? me? idk.<p>I know attention spans are short now, but I want to share how I want to share. If you're reading this, know it was written by a fellow human for a fellow human.<p>Over a year ago, I started working on Modern Mechanic after being frustrated with my Matco scanning tool that I spent over $2,000 on. I got a small amount of funding and convinced my investors to let me release it completely free. No ads, no pro version, no subscription. Just a useful tool for anyone who owns a car.<p>What makes it different? It was built to help you, not just translate bits.<p>Natural language input – describe what you're hearing, smelling, or feeling<p>AI-powered diagnosis that goes way beyond just reading codes<p>Works with ANY OBD2 reader you already own (or no reader at all) – no proprietary hardware<p>Supports any year/make/model – even custom builds and engine swaps<p>Plain English explanations, repair guides, cost estimates, and video tutorials<p>Access to real mechanics if you get stuck or need extra help<p>We'll literally find a trusted local mechanic and book a repair for you at the lowest possible price<p>TONS of other features<p>We hand built everything inhouse, including CAN bus bit parsing, which means there might be occasional bugs. But it also means we can keep it free forever.<p>Now I'm here and I need your help. Please support a small startup. I'm not trying to bill you monthly. I don't have a course or a program to sell you. I don't have anything that will help you get rich.<p>BUT if you own a car and are sick and tired of businesses that don't care about their consumers, maybe join my waitlist and help me prove you can make it by providing value to people for free.<p>Download/Waitlist: [modernmechanic.us]<p>Happy to answer any questions about the tech, the business model, or anything else. I've also done VC pitching, product design, and run a few other companies – glad to help anyone else on their startup journey.
