reddio VS devdocs

https://gitlab.com/aaronNG/reddio looks like it might be a decent, maintained alternative.

Which one? There's cortex and cReddit and reddio and rttt and rtv and tuir.

I just found https://gitlab.com/aaronNG/reddio.

For websites, I use an extension called LibreJS to block nonfree JavaScript. It seems that most sites work without nonfree JavaScript, though sometimes you have to explicitly block the site in LibreJS to force noscript tags to appear. It's hard to say for sure how many sites require nonfree JavaScript though, as since I don't tend to re-visit sites that require it, all the sites I regularly use work without nonfree nontrivial JavaScript. Often LibreJS doesn't detect free scripts as free so I have to mark them myself, but on most sites I don't need to do this (On Reddit specifically, there's one script that LibreJS marks as nontrivial, $(this).parent().submit(), but I consider that trivial myself because it's so short. I also use Reddit Enhancement Suite which might make some things work better too. Occasionally the site breaks for some reason, in which case I use reddio (git clone the URL to avoid JavaScript).). I also use an extension called LibRedirect which redirects some sites that require JavaScript to some that don't. For email I still use Google from before I was avoiding nonfree software, but I connect using a free software IMAP client.

I'm on my phone right now, so I'm using Slide (a 3-rd party reddit client), but on PC I usually use reddio.

Technically speaking, this may be true, but most of the scripts I have enabled are trivial scripts. The only whitelisted script (on this page) I have currently is $(this).parent().submit() (needed for submitting comments). I think triviality is subjective to some extent, and I consider that whitelisted script trivial. I also use Reddit Enhancement Suite and I think that might help with some things that would otherwise require nonfree JavaScript. For some reason, old.reddit sometimes doesn't let me interact (expand comments, post comments, upvote, join the subreddit), and I'm not sure why it sometimes doesn't work (seems to break more often on posts than permalinks to comments or subreddit pages), but in those cases I can use reddio (git clone that link to avoid GitLab's JS).

My understanding is that the Reddit client used to be free, but it isn't anymore. I think there is no way to create an account on Reddit using free software today, but you can post/comment using reddio (git clone it to avoid nonfree JS) or sometimes using RES + LibreJS and whitelisting a few simple scripts (e.g. $(this).parent().submit() at the simplest). Given that it is possible to use Reddit with free software if you already have an account, I think it is okay to keep using it. It would be good if someone added account registration functionality to reddio though, so that more people could participate.

there's also reddio

Of course this exists

You might find DevDocs to be useful: https://devdocs.io/

DevDocs - Aggregates documentation from various sources into a single, easy-to-navigate interface, covering frontend and backend technologies. DevDocs

DevDocs, an offline API documentation browser, supports multilingual, offering developers a quick and efficient way to access tech docs. From front-end to back-end and mobile development, it integrates official documentation, providing a sleek, user-friendly interface.

Environmental lighting conditions rule the day! I have astigmatism and I prefer bright backgrounds; #000 text on #fff backgrounds works great for me, but that's because I work in a room lit by a 250W 30,000 lumen corn-cob LED bulb[0] that makes my small office as bright on the inside as the shaded ground from a tree on an overcast day (which is quite bright compared to usual indoor lighting). In a room that bright, high contrast text works great and is highly readable, with "dark mode" often looking washed out and muddy. Even small reductions in contrast (such as what https://devdocs.io does with text of #333 in light mode) can make me notice and wish for greater contrast.

Here's how to add a new scraper: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs/blob/main/.github/CO...

Or open an issue and wait for somebody else to implement the scraper.

Imagine a single, intuitive platform where you can access comprehensive documentation for a vast array of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools. That's the magic of DevDocs. This exceptional resource eliminates the frustration of juggling multiple tabs and websites in your quest for information. DevDocs brings everything together into one easy-to-use interface.

Mosh for a stable connection, Offline documentation such as msdn, wikipedia (via kiwi etc), zeal for local access to https://devdocs.io/; Self host tabby for ai autocompletion. For many shell programs check what mulinux was using back then, and what are the modern replacements such as elinks instead of links. Mutt for mail, for irc doesn't matter much, use a desktop one but setup a bouncher on a vps, I used to have one on a raspberry pi 1, you can use rss reader for reddit (not sure if still works) and blogs
