Author / creator here. I built this because integrating LLMs into Swift apps meant juggling completely different APIs for MLX, llama.cpp, CoreML, Ollama, and cloud providers. AnyLanguageModel gives you a single interface modeled on App

Following up — I just pushed a fix for this. This latest version significantly improves how references like protocol conformances and default implementations are rendered.

Amen to that. It's funny how virtues like accessibility and good API design matter just as much as ever in this new era. Good ideas don't go out of style.

Hi Saagar! One could indeed use this method to export this information en-masse, however that would require the kind of automated access that the site ToS explicitly forbids. For the Swift standard library and other open-source frameworks,

I think HTML -> Markdown is a bit of a red herring. In many cases, a Markdown distillation of HTML can improve the signal-to-noise ratio — especially for sites mired in <div> tag soup (intentionally or not). But that's an opti

This is only possible for some of Apple‘s open source Swift code, including the Swift standard library. This is not the case for hundreds of other SDK frameworks, such as SwiftUI. Even for those open source projects, there is still some val

Thanks for pointing that out. That’s most likely a mistake in how I’m translating into Markdown. I’ll look into this.

Great idea! I just added that. Try clicking the icon in the header.

Once upon a time, I built a project called `swift-doc`, which eventually got Sherlocked. I think what I was most upset about was their decision to call their thing "DocC". Like, adding redundant consonants to avoid name collisions

In my experience, coding agents seem to do a normal fetch when provided links. Which makes sense — headless browser automation is expensive, and only really necessary for interacting with a webpage. But with these RLHF'd AIs, being con

I agree, it'd be great if Apple provided accessible documentation in the first place. Time was, Apple published self-contained docsets that you could download and read offline. Apple's ToS pretty explicitly forbid the kind of auto

Not yet, but I plan to open source it soon. Just gotta tidy up a little bit, you know?

Mattt here, co-creator of emcee. Thanks! Yeah, having everything just work gives me the same goosebumps that I remember from back in the Web 2.0 days. One of the next steps for us is to expand emcee beyond just tool use. MCP has concepts [1

This is a great way of thinking about technical decision-making. I'm most familiar with this idea through the framing of "innovation tokens" from the essay "Choose Boring Technology" [1]. [1] http://borin
