Recently I've had to find and read specs for some obscure protocols and found quite a few PDFs on GitHub scattered across multiple repos. The only problem was that in order to view and search them I had to download and re-open them in the browser's PDF viewer.After a dozen or so PDFs it got really old so I decided to make this tool.How it works is you prefix any GitHub URL that points to a PDF file with "pdf" so instead of:"github.com/bogdannbv/pdfgithub.com/blob/main/example/file.pdf"It becomes"pdfgithub.com/bogdannbv/pdfgithub.com/blob/main/example/file.pdf"Now you'll be able to view the PDF directly in your browser, no downloads, no extra steps.

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
