What is wat?
Wat is a community-built command-line tool that provides instant access to syntax cheat sheets and practical documentation for any programming language or framework. It solves the problem of repeatedly searching for code usage questions by aggregating APIs, READMEs, snippets, and samples into a centralized, CLI-accessible resource. The tool is designed to save developers time by delivering relevant information quickly without sifting through multiple websites.
Developers of all levels who frequently need to look up syntax or API usage across various languages and libraries, especially those working with JavaScript, Node.js, and popular frameworks. It's ideal for coders who prefer command-line efficiency over browsing documentation sites.
Developers choose Wat for its community-driven, always-updated content and its smart, fast search capabilities directly from the CLI. Unlike formal documentation, Wat focuses on practical, informal cheat sheets that are quick to access and easy to contribute to, making it a rebellious alternative to traditional documentation tools.
