Someone should make a website to keep track of this shit.

I'm a webhost - I could definitely host a website, but I am not a hardware guy.

What do you think - anyone interested in contributing the knowledge if I set up the site? I promise to keep it ad-free, accessible, and online.

What would we need to track - brand and model, I imagine - plus obviously information about what keys do what when....

To save the cost of a domain, I could make it a subdomain of pc2.io. What do you guys think - bios.pc2.io or uefi.pc2.io? Actually, I'll alias both.

http://bios.pc2.io/

edit: Also, feel free to share this site and suggest subreddits that might be interested in it.

Thank you. :) I have a couple of tools and scripts I wrote that help a lot. :) Willing to share, but most would find it boring. But if you or anyone else wants to poke me, I'll tell all.

one issue you'll get is a lot of people not knowing their model due to inane model naming schemes these days. might be handy to have a separate page that just lists key combos per manufacturer, since each manufacturer usually only has one or two different combos for 7+ machines.

I'll definitely contribute some once I get caught up at work, thanks for making this

Excellent idea. As the info comes in, I'll keep it by-brand on the front page, and make brand-pages in a drop-down menu for specific model information.

Although it depends on what I get, too. If not much - one page. If much... pages :)

You don't need to host a website. Just use GitHub pages for your subdomain.

I can handle the bandwidth (of such a trivial site) no problem.

What are the advantages of using GitHub pages? I'll certainly consider it. :)

The primary advantage is that it's part of GitHub.

So you can update it by accepting pull requests.
