Torque lookup + editable JSON, built with vanilla JS and Tailwind
Version 1.1
Torque Buddy is a browser-based tool for referencing and editing torque specifications by make, model, and year. It loads data from a local JSON file and lets users browse, update, download, or import new specs without needing a backend.
This is a self-contained, client-side build. All logic is written in plain JavaScript. Styles are handled with Tailwind CSS. No frameworks, no build tools and no dependencies.

This was built to practice and demonstrate working with JavaScript directly—no abstraction layers. The goal was to solve a specific problem, keep the footprint small, and make the code easy to read. Every line is intentional. No fluff, no scaffolding.
This is version 1.1. The app is complete and functional. It may expand based on use cases like unit conversion, API integration or saved vehicle presets.
