   good evening! do you use #gnu software of any description? #postgres? #zsh?

   have you found the manuals annoying and hard to find things in, or telling you to go f-- err i mean read the info page?

   consider using the single page builds of such reference manuals on https://docs.jade.fyi

   they have nice CSS and no page splitting so you can simply hit ctrl f

     @krans they are better than man pages *in content*, the info viewer, on the other paw, is terrible.....

     i unironically advocate for just using lynx or w3m or something on docs.jade.fyi in place of the info viewer.

     @leftpaddotpy Is it weird that I like info manuals and generally find them easier to use than manpages?

     @leftpaddotpy This is lovely. They have tables of contents!
