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.

DevDocs
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.
I'm one of the few maintainers.
Updating docs to a new release is easy unless the documentation system (such as react.dev redesign) or design is rewritten. Some projects seem to do this on a regular basis.
Some documentation generators generate random class names (such as .gtWOdv, .ezMiXD, .gOhcvK on docs.npmjs.com by Gatsby) which makes cleaning the docs from superfluous content (such as on-page navigation) very cumbersome and flaky.
Monthly, we auto-generate a list of outdated docs, here is the latest: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs/issues/2105
Help is always welcome. :-)

How would you work effectively with an extremely slow 56Kbps connection?
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

The Thing About PHP
> ...from the comments section on php.net. The latter was a surprisingly good source but none of this was ever sustainable.
Honestly, I wish more documentation out there had comments/discussion at the bottom.
For example, reading about setting up Open is Connect and having the first (most upvoted) comments on the first page explain things that might not be clear in the docs, analogies that make things easier to understand, or code/configuration snippets for a particular technology.
Somehow the comments in PHP docs were usually like: "after reading the docs, here's what you might want to really know", a bit like those tl;dr apps for manpages: https://tldr.sh/

Making Hard Things Easy
I'm not a fan of man pages. Or any documentation that focuses on textual explanations rather than examples in code (looking at you aws).
I recently found https://tldr.sh/ and found it more convenient. I ended up writing myself a vscode extension to have a quick lookup at my fingertips, since I am at least 60% of the time looking at a terminal in vscode
There's also tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
It lets you check the most commonly used options from your terminal, for example "tldr badblocks".

The Case for Nushell
> Along those lines, a quick way to drive adoption could be a huge "how do i do x" or recipes page to Ctrl+F through. If I have to search the internet for how to do x in nushell/fish/etc, I might as well stick to arcane bash - at least you know someone has had the same problem before.
