recently i started using devdocs.io and I actually enjoy the focus on documentation — usually I just try to do whatever and get by on stackoverflow, but it’s been refreshing to dive into documentation.
(I guess chatgpt has also made me realize how much time i spend avoiding ads and skimming text to find what I want)
unfortunately devdocs only works on a subset of the python libraries i use
i looked into the source and it looks a bit annoying to run on my own (a lot of node, ruby, etc., requires indexing script)
anyway halfway to a terrible start up idea i found a “good enough” solution that scratches my itch
it turns out you can customize google to create a search box that only searches a subset of websites
programmablesearchengine.google.com/
Hurray!
That engine I set up above is at https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=22b7ea18490504163#gsc.tab=0 if you’re curious.
