I can't recommend devdocs.io enough! It's such a fantastic resource.
* It links to the real documentation
* world class search
* lets you pick and choose versions and languages/frameworks you want to have searchable
* provides a consistent UI across all docs which is fantastic when you are switching between several while developing.
* Is updated with terrifying frequency (I don't think I've ever opened it and NOT had some kind of docs update notification!)
* There are editor plugins available that let you press a key and open the highlighted word as search in devdocs.io
If you use devdocs.io and feel like it has saved you time or money, donate to them on Gratipay [0].

- samuell 9y agoAgrees with all of the above, and would just add one point: * Ability to tab-select [1] a language to limit your search to. The lack of this feature in Zeal [2] is one of the reasons I stay with devdocs although i tend to like old-school real desktop apps.

- jacobmischka 9y agoIn Zeal, typing "javas" and pressing tab causes it to autocomplete "javascript: " for me. Is this what you're referring to?
- samuell 9y agoAha, perhaps the feature has found its way into a release, after I checked last. Gotta check. Thanks for the heads-up!
