A killer app would be a up-to-date database of documentation from X amount of sources. For example, fully up to date Shopify API Documentation which could be included within cursor at the click of a button.

I believe right now you're requiring us to do the scraping/adding?

great question:)

Nia already supports that. Just take the link i.e https://mintlify.com/docs and ask to index it (it will crawl every subpage available from the rool link you specify)

In my experience, it lacks a lot things that Nia can do:

- nia can do deep research across any docs / codebase and then find any relevant links or repos to index. - it also supports both private and public repos :)

lmk about ur experience with context7 (if u used) it and what docs did u use?

last time I checked, context7 depended on an opt-in from library authors expressed through a marker file in the repository, which is negatively affecting adoption and docs coverage.

or you can you know - use tools that are un-ethical but have better adoption :)
