Manx — A new CLI tool to search library docs directly from your terminal

Hey guys 👋

I’ve been working on a little side project called Manx.
It’s a CLI/TUI tool that lets you search and read versioned documentation for libraries/frameworks right from your terminal — without opening a browser. Single Rust binary lightweight no local stores unless you want to but it does require network connection.

Example workflow:

$ manx search numpy@2 "broadcasting rules" [1] Broadcasting semantics for add() …Arrays are compatible when their shapes align… https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/basics.broadcasting.html 

Also…

$ manx doc numpy@2 "broadcasting rules" Title : Broadcasting semantics for add() Source: https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/basics.broadcasting.html Excerpt: Two dimensions are compatible when… 

There’s also: - --json output for scripting - -o to export snippets/docs into Markdown - --pick for an optional TUI picker

Question for you all:
Would this be something you’d actually use in your workflow?
Or is opening a browser just “good enough”?

Looking for brutal honesty before I polish and publish the first release. 🙂
