alt Hacker NewsMy coding agent uses the hister cli, i.e. a local index. That often requires me to seed it manually as a downside. The upside is that it caches website contents via browser plugin, which is a nice workaround for bot blocking.

Why do you have to seed the pages manually?
The original request via the MCP is somehow blocked?

Something on my todo-soon list is to figure out how to import the devdocs.io doc bundles into hister.

What do you mean by seeding it manually? Like do you programmatically "browse" to bolster your hister index? Asking because I started using hister a month or so ago and have been really liking it, and I'm curious how others are using it.

does it? I am running it but was under the impression that it did not cache the content I am viewing, unlike SinglePage.
