This is the first time I've heard of this (not a mac user but am a developer).
At least as this is software for developers, I reckon most won't mind buying it outside the appstore, it sounds really useful.
- RBerenguel 10y agoI used to have Dash when it was still free and in beta, but had some use hiccups (was on an older machine) and recently considered getting a license for it and getting the iOS versions as well... So now I have a problem, because my main point was not the Mac version (I could even use the emacs compatible package to browse Dash documentation) but iOS, and that can't be maintained.
- kstrauser 10y agoA plug for it: I love Dash. I was on the fence for a while ("I'm not more than a terminal window away from 'man foo'; why pay for it?") but now I love having a common interface to lots of the docs I use. It also integrates nicely with common editors, so a single key combo in Emacs pops open a Dash window for the thing I was looking at. Yeah, I know Emacs has that built-in, but Dash in a separate window on a separate screen is still more pleasant to use and look at.
- chillacy 10y agoIt's a lifesaver on planes where you won't have internet. If only I could download an archive of stackoverflow too, then I'd be set.
- ChickeNES 10y agoDash already includes the ability to download offline Stackoverflow datasets by language.
- prashnts 10y agoI use `devdocs.io`. It's open source and works great!
- tedmiston 10y agoFirst time seeing this site... DevDocs is nice!
- overcast 10y agoOh my...
- timdeneau 10y agoWow, thanks for sharing.
- CamperBob2 10y agoThanks, this is pretty slick.
- evolve2k 10y agoIt's wonderful at Railscamps also! http://railscamps.org http://railscamps.org
- Tyr42 10y agoIt is helpful when the Python doc's search sucks. Also I keep a copy of all the documentation offline, which is good when I don't always have WiFi
- RantyDave 10y agoIt's great, works a treat with PyCharm. I like to think this is a foulup and will be fixed soon. However, XCode 8's help system is massively improved and this might be a case of Apple trying to force developers down that route. Which is a bloody shame. I really hope this is just some screwup :(
- apetresc 10y agoI'm certain a fake fraud tag is not the way Apple would go about this.
- abeyer 10y agoIf you're not on mac, there's Zeal[1], that shows Dash doc sets on win & linux. [1] https://zealdocs.org https://zealdocs.org
- LaSombra 10y agoEven if you are, https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/wiki/Build-Instructions-for-OS-X https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/wiki/Build-Instructions-for.... It works quite well for me.
