Hi fellow tldr implementer! I wanted to try your client, so I installed 0.6.1 on Arch via AUR.

When I run it the first time, it looks like this:

2020-09-04-001725_992x197_scrot

(Note: This must have something to do with some control characters, since when I make the window small and large again, there is a proper line break. I'm using alacritty as a terminal emulator, in case that's relevant.)

So since the command asked me to re-run it with -u, I did so. However, this results in the same warning being printed again.

2020-09-04-001845_999x244_scrot

So I thought, maybe I need to combine -u with a page name. But that doesn't seem to do anything either...

2020-09-04-002051_999x244_scrot

Another theory was that it's broken in the interactive mode, but works in static mode. But with tldr -s -u, the cache isn't pulled either.

TL;DR: I don't know how to use your tool :smile: It could well be that I'm too stupid to use it properly, but my experience may be useful to improve the API!
