Find repair cafes and DIY guides for broken gadgets
Right-to-Repair Hub is a hyperlocal digital directory that lists pop-up repair cafes, independent repair shops, and community repair events in suburban towns. The platform aggregates event schedules, maps, and user reviews, while also offering a library of curated DIY repair guides for common electronics (phones, laptops, appliances). Revenue comes from sponsored listings from repair cafes, affiliate links to recommended repair tools and parts (via Amazon or iFixit), and optional premium listings. The business requires no inventory, no hands-on repair skills, and minimal weekly time—just occasional updates to listings and social media promotion. Built on a no-code website builder (e.g., Carrd + Google Calendar embed), it serves the growing right-to-repair movement and helps reduce e-waste in local communities.
The right-to-repair movement is gaining traction with new legislation and consumer awareness. Suburban areas lack centralized directories, creating a gap for a simple, automated solution that monetizes without repair expertise.
Research and list all existing pop-up repair cafes and electronics repair events within a 20-mile radius of your target suburban town.
