feature request: noogle cli #39

Open montchr opened 1 year ago

montchr commented 1 year ago

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to be able to interact with Noogle as a command-line tool so I don't have to switch to my browser and open the website.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A couple CLI tools like this exist already, but I far prefer the information and UI of Noogle in the browser.

Additional context

This request might be totally out of scope since an interactive CLI is not a website.

Legitimate request. I'll see if I can provide a CLI tool. I can onboard you if you'd be up for working on this issue.

  • (I think there's another one out there?)

The other one is nixdoc. This is the "official" tool that's currently used to build the nixpkgs manual. (In fact, I copied this tool and adjusted it for markdown formatting and creating a json database)
