This is slightly off topic, but could be related to this. Does anyone have a good way to keep programming documentation offline and searchable for all of the languages and libraries you use? I'm primarily a Python, Java, C, Assembly, and PHP person. For Assembly I can just keep a copy of the ISA book but that does not really make it searchable.
Recently I had lost internet and had work that needed to be done. I ended up having to go to a coffee shop because I knew the name of a few functions I wanted to use but I didn't remember the calling semantics. I could have just tried it until it worked but I just took the excuse to go to Dunkin Donuts, grab a coffee, and work there.
Do they plan to release their Stack Overflow Documentation files? It would be a good way to start something like this. Make an offline and searchable version of this dataset with a uniform offline and searchable version of Python, Java, etc docs.
- thomship 9y agoOn Mac - https://kapeli.com/dash https://kapeli.com/dash is pretty good.
- cannonedhamster 9y agoFound Zeal for linux which uses their docs. This is fantastic thank you.
- ericcholis 9y agoDash for Mac is nice. Not familiar with other systems
- netheril96 9y agohttps://devdocs.io https://devdocs.io They have offline mode. But the documentation sets are not as comprehensive as Dash.
- syrrim 9y agoI've found that it gets cleared by the browser at relative frequency. I'm sure if you predict your usage of it the day before then it would work better. However if you want to use it on an ad hoc basis, then it isn't very useful.
- juatforcomment 9y agohttps://zealdocs.org/ https://zealdocs.org/ Zeal is available for windows and linux. It uses same docsets as Dash for mac.
- Const-me 9y agoAlso slightly off topic, but since you’ve listed C and Assembly, you might be interested in this piece of documentation: https://github.com/Const-me/IntelIntrinsics https://github.com/Const-me/IntelIntrinsics It's searchable.
