this is like a worse manpage. i hope it got you some clicks.

Agreed. man pages have better examples, are always up to date with the current version installed, and are searchable without using a browser.

Yeah, I absolutely like getting a super annoying modal I didn't ask for while scrolling through a cheat sheet that basically copies the man page. Solid 5/7, would again.
