About:
So is a terminal user interface (TUI) that provides instant access to Stack Overflow content without leaving the command line. It allows developers to search for questions, view accepted answers, and browse code snippets directly within their terminal workflow. This tool streamlines the problem-solving process by eliminating context switching to a web browser.
Key Features:
  • Fuzzy search capabilities for finding relevant questions
  • Terminal-based interface with syntax highlighting
  • Integration with terminal pager for reading full answers
  • Copy code snippets to clipboard functionality
Use Cases:
  • Quickly looking up solutions while pair programming in the terminal
  • Researching implementation approaches during code reviews
  • Finding code examples without leaving a remote SSH session
Alternatives:
  • ddgr – Searches web search engines via terminal, broader scope but less Stack Overflow specific
  • browser bookmarks – Traditional web access requires context switching but has full feature set
