Restarters Specifications

About Restarters.net ​

Restarters.net is the platform behind the global community repair movement. It brings together volunteer fixers, event hosts, and repair networks to organise community repair events and measure their environmental impact.

The platform combines three core modules: The Fixometer for organising repair events and recording their impact, Restarters Talk for community discussion, and Restarters Wiki for collectively produced repair knowledge. Groups around the world use it to run events, log device repairs, track waste prevented, and coordinate through regional networks.

This site is the living specification — every user story listed here is extracted directly from the codebase and linked to its test coverage. It updates automatically as the code changes.
