History
Romain Prieto started the project by making the first initial commit on the famous version controlling site called GitHub, on 8 December 2013 at 19:56:16 according to the timezone of their personal computer.[5]
At first, only a handful of people were contributing tldr. By the end of 2015, thanks to some unknown Chinese publications promoting it, the project has seen a rapid amount of growth in popularity on Github, leaving popular software like Swift in behind.[6] On 25 December 2015, the project ended up trending at 3rd place.[7] By 27 December 2015, tldr-pages repo had reached 2700+ stars, having gained approximately 700 of it only in a week.[8] In the following day, the project reached to the front page of Hacker News.[9] After the post, the amount of stars received by the project reached to 3700+ and the project itself arrived at #1 in daily popularity within the day.[10][11] The project had seen another bump in late 2017 and later kept a stable increase of popularity to this day.[12]
Formatting
Default format of the tldr-pages is Markdown, a popular markup language used in many other free software and documentation projects.[13]
