  • completeness: all manpages in Debian should be available. every single one. no manpage left behind fr fr 💅
  • visually appealing and convenient: reading manpages should be fun, and convenience features (e.g. permalinks, URL redirects, easy navigation) should be available. main character manpage reading experience ✨
  • speed: manpages should be quick to load, new manpages should be quickly ingested, and the program should run quickly for pleasant development. fast fast fast 🔥
