I wonder if we could implement a decentralized version of SO. It can be a CLI app since it is used by developers only. The app can keep all question/answers of topic relevant to the developer locally. This will allow developer to find answers offline as well. Since it is only text data it should not take more than a GB.

  Whois does seem a little more flexible than dict. Able to delegate and recurse in answering a query. Let's add some flags
