Nia Docs

This is a documentation search tool that taps into Nia's index of 3000+ packages across npm, PyPI, Crates, and Go. You get semantic search for concepts like "dependency injection" or grep-style pattern matching for exact code snippets. It's handy when you need to find how a specific function works or see usage examples without leaving your editor. The universal search mode lets you query across all indexed sources at once. Requires a Nia API key to work, so there's a setup step, but once configured it beats switching between browser tabs and package docs sites when you're deep in code.
