It looks like a good resource but why distribute it as a PDF and not a searchable webpage? And why put the diagrams and tables on different pages?

For more obscure pinouts, I still check https://pinouts.ru/

One of my favorite resources on the Web. Information-dense, loads fast, easy to navigate.

The remarkable thing is that it is fast and SEO-friendly out of the box because it doesn't use any kind of SPA framework

There's also https://pinout.xyz/boards

Yeah. Strange that it's a monolithic pdf instead of a site like their main competition pinouts.ru.

It will make more sense if you watch the video announcing the release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz2P9celU1M

It really doesn't explain why they chose a book as their format over a searchable website or why they chose a 2 page layout, with one color inverted.

Spreading the content over 2 pages makes it very unusable. Displaying 2 pages side by side makes the content too small to read. Having every 2nd page color inverted makes it unprintable. It's also annoying if (like me) you invert the colors on your e-reader or PDF viewer.

I also noticed the index doesn't have hyperlinks to the content pages and it doesn't appear to have a working table of contents making it even more difficult to use on an e-reader.

I like the concept but the implementation has serious usability issues.
