There should be some punctuation in the title. The tool is named "Help". A quick skim doesn't make it seem like the author is in need of urgent assistance.
This is awesome, I've been wanting something like this for a decade. But if there's no html inside, does that mean I can't style the content with css (or otherwise)?
Have you tried Zeal or Dash?
I think you can convert CHM to ePub using Calibre, then convert from ePub to whatever you want using pandoc, then import that into Zeal?
This is cool. But I feel like the default styles could use some improvement (if possible).
Without exaggerating much, I don't know a single person, technical or not, who ever read a single help file for any Windows software. There's even less sense in these files now as opposed to keeping all documentation online.
So I have to say I don't see a point in this product... though I suspect there is actually a market for it.
I hated chm because the spec wasn't open. With only 1 reference implementation, it was user-hostile. Unless the spec for helpinator is open, I don't see myself using this.
reverse engineered chm spec and the complexity boggles my mind: https://www.nongnu.org/chmspec/latest/
