### What we like

Web search and reader UI for programming documentation. Covers lots of languages, frameworks, APIs, products. Keyboard shortcuts and easy search. Search can be scoped and can also be installed into the browser address bar. Offline support & dark mode. Open source.

### Tradeoffs

Works by scraping the web so there’s the potential to be out of date or missing certain docs. You have to enable specific docs to make them available.
