Hello! Welcome to version 0.1.0 of ExDuck. At this point the interface really works and really integrates nicely with Livebook!

The most problematic code is the internals of to_markdown/1. It would be nice to get that away from raw string concatenation and into actual templating.

But I declare this is workable as-is, useable, and even downright reliable. I've throw a lot of queries at the API and it's surprisingly fun to explore the data.

The biggest annoyance is when the API simply does not have good answers for queries that seem like they should work. For example: try searching for "blackjack" and then try to figure out a search to actually return the direct answer for the blackjack card game. Or: try searching for "chess board game" (no answer) vs "chess-board-game" (does answer). Maybe in the future this library could mildly iterate queries to find the best result.
