Modern and searchable Tcl/Tk documentation reference

Hi everyone! I've been trying to use Tcl/Tk for some personal projects recently, but was somewhat put off by the state of the documentation. I find the official site hard to search and navigate, and the layout isn't responsive so trying to read it on my phone isn't easy.

I took a couple of days and put together a new site to make reading the documentation easier. The goal was to make things look modern with a responsive layout, with light and dark mode, and a full search accessible from every page. It's all statically generated, including the search, so hosting costs next to nothing.

The code is all open source as well, with links in the footer. All of the documentation is generated from the man pages, similar to the official site. The generator is written in go with no external dependencies. To be transparent, I did use AI to write a lot of the code.

I mostly created it for myself, but I would love it if it helped anyone here. Let me know if you have any feedback!
