New client for TLDR
Raw
TLDR_Cliend.md

New client

  • No dependencies, so cannot be written in NodeJS, Ruby, Python, Java :( Even though I like these languages very much.
  • It has to be easily installable on servers using package managers.
  • It should work on Windows too.
  • Most likely written either in Go (fork of existing?) or Rust. Can be written in C/C++, but I am very bad in it.
  • The recent pages archive should be downloaded together with package installation or added to package. So after apt-get install tldr it has to be ready to run.
  • It should auto-update pages archive regularly, similarly to oh-my-zsh.
  • Several people should contribute to it, there should be community around it, because it has to be actively supported, unlike current Go client.
  • NodeJS client should be kind of "reference implementation"
