Very nice, but why does it depend on a web server? It's just a static
page, AFAICT. Does it do something more?

I'd really just like to have a bookmark in my browser so I can quickly
go to all my installed gem docs. Running a server to do that seems a
little excessive....

But at least now I realize I should have used gemspec files as input
rather than regexes.
