Is the "bro" intended to be ironic, or are the creators actually not aware that the term is used to represent the worst (most misogynistic, most crass, least mature, least dependable) people currently flocking to the industry? It is by its very definition exclusionary.

I suppose "brogrammers" might be a target audience, but the concept of the tool itself is pretty good for just about anyone. Shame about the name.

I suspect it's supposed to be a pun on "man". The only other tool in this space that comes to mind is GNU's "info"...

What name would you have given the tool?

tinpages. That way the tools do what they say on the tin.

I really like this. I'm going to go ahead and add it to my ~/.bashrc, because I feel weird about typing bro a lot:

alias tin='bro'
