[Media] [media] Tired of jumping to browser tabs for docs when I code, so I wrote a tiny Rust CLI

I kept breaking my flow every time I had to leave the terminal just to check docs (React, FastAPI, Tauri, etc). So I hacked together Manx, a small Rust tool that pulls docs straight into the terminal.

It’s fast (<1s lookup, cached results are instant), works offline after the first search, and lets you specify versions (react@18 hooks vs react@17).

Install with Cargo:

                   cargo install manx-cli

Repo: github.com/neur0map/manx

I’m curious: would you actually use this in your workflow, or do you already have a better way of handling docs in-terminal?
