Built by one person, for the community
Hey, I'm Ivan. I built Teenage Manual because I got tired of scrolling through PDFs trying to find how to do simple things on my EP-133.
This started as a weekend project and grew into something I use every day in my studio. I wanted to make device manuals actually useful - searchable, conversational, and available when you need them (which is usually when your hands are busy).
Running this costs money. AI APIs, hosting, database - it adds up quick. I started with Buy Me a Coffee, but the project got way more traction than I expected. 1000+ users in the first 2 days, 3500+ questions asked - that level of usage meant coffee donations couldn't cover the expenses, so here we are with Pro subscriptions. Every feature came from my own frustrations or suggestions from users like you. It's just me working on this, no investors or big company behind it.
The free version stays free, forever. Nothing changes there. Pro is just built on top of it - extra features for those who want to support development and get a bit more.
Thanks for being here.
