feature request: noogle cli

[montchr]

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to be able to interact with Noogle as a command-line tool so I don't have to switch to my browser and open the website.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A couple CLI tools like this exist already, but I far prefer the information and UI of Noogle in the browser.

• https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc – good, but a bit "noisy". doesn't have the type info afaik
• https://github.com/mlvzk/manix – unmaintained
• (i think there's another one out there?)

Additional context

This request might be totally out of scope since an interactive CLI is not a website.

Legitimate request. I'll see if I can provide a CLI tool. I can onboard you if you'd be up for working on this issue.

The other one is nixdoc. This is the "official" tool that's currently used to build the nixpkgs manual. (In fact, I copied this tool and adjusted it for markdown formatting and creating a json database)
