I used to think creating a CHM was peak professionalism. I'm a mini Microsoft!

Actually I'd go back to CHMs for docs. A modern reader would be good tho.

Yeah, I keep thinking that CHM was the peak format for offline docs. Today we have Kiwix [0] and Dash/Zeal [1] – both amazing projects, but somehow they feel more complex, and the formats they use aren’t as ubiquitous.

[1]: https://kapeli.com/dash for macOS, https://zealdocs.org/ for others

Is there a term for the situation that, when there's a dozen different products competing in the same space, there may as well be none?

[notpushkin]

I don’t think so, but there is a number. [927]

Choice paralysis, choice overload, analysis paralysis.

The other day I crammed some awful internal docs into zeal. It was a fun time, good format -- was able to reverse engineer it without looking at the specs in an hour or so. I wanted to be able to look at those docs having to remember exactly where they were every time.
