Who for
Retro computing enthusiasts
Business model
Premium features
Effort
A few months

Retro computing fans struggle to understand and repair vintage hardware without risking damage to rare components.

Build browser-based simulators that let users interactively test chip behaviors and failure modes on classic systems.

Museums, educators, and collectors would pay for accurate simulations that complement physical restoration work.

Start with one well-documented system like the 6502 processor.

Risk is niche audience size limiting monetization potential.
