# FAQ

## Why `mhy`?

My original plan was to make a simple tool that can run all MY(!) processes at once. Then the project grew. The first idea was to run the tool using `my dev`. But the name (*my*) was taken on NPM. Then I checked `mhy` which was free, H is a silent sound when you pronounce it and also finding a 3 letter name is kinda a hidden gem, so I took it. It's important to be short because you'll end up typing the command many times so it's more comfortable.

## Are there any upcoming features?

You can always follow our continuous TODO list here: <https://github.com/wintercounter/mhy/issues/1>

## How can I use another version of a certain package?

`mhy` will try to resolve packages first in your project's `node_modules` folder. Simply install your own version as usual.

## Why no more question?

Feel free to add your own!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mhy.js.org/others/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
