I tried to work around bad rule books by building https://www.boardgameonepagers.com/

It’s open source, all the rules have simple markdown formatting that’s easy to glance through on an phone, and they try to be as concise as possible.

But it’s hard work writing rules and I’ve never given it the effort I’d like to.

This is awesome! I don't know your goals with this, but maybe opening the rule markdown files through GitHub to crowd source info would allow you to reduce the hard work of writing the rules.

It comes with the (possibly harder) hard work of managing an open source project though.

My first thought is dedicating an hour or two a month to reviewing, merging, and deploying, but not sure if that'd be accurate.

Already done. There’s a link on the homepage to the GitHub, and you can just add a new markdown file in the rules folder. It auto deploys on merge to master.
