Electron is no-platform. It is an insult to the user, and a lack of skill and effort for the developer. I'm currently using QT for Win and Linux, and Apple -tech for Apple.

Exactly. Shameful explanation.

Update: v0.3.0 shipped — setup is now 30 seconds
The crawl time was the #1 friction point. Fixed it.
cupertino setup now downloads pre-built databases from GitHub Releases. No more 20-hour crawls.
138K+ docs pages and 606 sample projects, ready in under a minute.

Thanks! Let me know how it goes—happy to help if you hit any issues getting it set up.

Update since launch:
- 111k+ documentation pages indexed
- 606 sample code projects (fully searchable)
- Swift Evolution proposals, Swift.org docs, The Swift Book
- Apple Archive legacy guides—deep conceptual docs for Core Animation, Core Graphics, Core Text, etc. that aren't in modern docs
- 9,699 Swift packages cataloged
Pre-built indexes available if you don't want to wait 20+ hours to crawl:

Totally agree—ranking is both art and science. Beyond what I listed, I'm also penalizing nested types, boosting based on query patterns ("X protocol" → boost protocols), and inferring kind from URL depth when metadata is missing.
Still actively crawling docs (at 111k now) and vector/semantic search is on the roadmap.

I guess the experience was faster than most of Electron-based "apPS" nowdays.
