Introducing Lexy — my lightweight command-line tool built with Python!
Lexy fetches programming tutorials from “Learn X in Y Minutes” and displays them directly in your terminal. It’s perfect for terminal-first developers, polyglot programmers, and self-learners who want quick, no-fluff documentation without leaving their workflow.
Key Features:
- Fast and minimal
- Offline-friendly after the first fetch
- Easy to use and scriptable
- Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/antoniorodr/lexy
Huge thanks to the maintainers of Learn X in Y Minutes — your work is fantastic, and this project wouldn’t exist without it.

This is a really cool idea.
You mention it being scriptable, which makes sense as a CLI. Do you have any personal examples of using Lexy in a script? I'm curious about use cases outside of reading.

I have unfortunately not, but I can come with examples when I’ve tested it a little better.
Thanks!
EDIT: This is my second “real” project so I’ve still a lot to learn. I appreciate the feedback!
