I didn't follow that discussion, but I know this:
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/tree/master
At the bottom of that page you will find in category "Web clients" a 
list of Websites of interest, which can show you the tldr ouptut.
https://tldr.dendron.so/
At the command prompt, without having to use a browser, I much liked the 
node.js based client with its colorful (helpful) output:
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr-node-client
Simply because of the ease of installation with "apt install tldr" I am 
also happy with the tldr client in the Debian repository.
I am not sure if this is what you have been asking for. However, I hope 
that also this information could be useful for you.
Good Luck!
Marco.
