How to use it?

You are able to search for questions from the application using StackExchange's search API, but it's very primitive, so you might not find what you are searching for.

You are recomended to use a web browser and your search engine of choice along with a browser extension to redirect any questions under the StackExchange network to be opened inside StackBloatLess.

StackBloatLess accept StackExchange questions in the next format to be opened in it:

stackbloatless://{api_site_parameter}/{ids}

Where {api_site_parameter} is specific to single StackExchange site that could be found here, and {ids} is a list of questions ids seprated by ;, like id;id;id;id....
