## What it is
A curated repository of roughly 1,900 technically-oriented PDF documents (papers, specs, decks, manuals) with a companion static browsing site at tpn.github.io/pdfs. The site provides instant full-text search, topic/year/type filters, first-page thumbnails, and direct download links.

## Use cases
- find technical papers and specs as PDFs
- search a curated archive of systems programming documents
- browse computer science manuals and decks
- download reference PDFs on systems programming
- filter technical documents by topic and year

## When to choose
- you want a pre-curated collection of technical PDFs without hunting across the web
- you need quick search and filtering over a large set of systems/CS documents
- you want direct download links to papers, specs, and manuals

## When to avoid
- you need a specific document not already in the collection
- you require guaranteed licensing or redistribution rights (the repo has no license)
- you need programmatic APIs beyond the GitHub tree JSON export

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset

- function: pdf, search-engine, documentation
- domain: pdf, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: browser
