There's a tool I use called Dash for quickly looking up documentation of coding languages and frameworks and it works offline. It does not have a subscription model, but it does have very frequent paid upgrades; without charting them out, I'd guess they are roughly yearly. I grumble every time because the upgrade cost isn't cheap and the updates rarely have groundbreaking new features, but then I consider how much use I get out of that tool and hand my dollars over. But the times when money has been tight or I've just been lazy and haven't upgraded when a new release comes out, the old one continues to work just fine. I'd much rather see Panic and other developers use a model like this; trick/incentivize me into re-buying your product every year without calling it a subscription or breaking my old versions. I used Coda pretty much since its launch and paid for upgrades to Coda 2 and Nova. I've built my career around these editors, so it's kind of scandalous how little I've paid Panic in proportion to how much money I've made using them. I would be fine with them having more frequent paid upgrades. But the day they try to rope me into a forced subscription model is the day I start looking at alternatives (which is too bad, because the last time I looked at the market when Coda 2 was getting a bit too long in the tooth and it was looking like Nova was never going to actually be released, it was clear that there are no serious alternatives for Mac-native code editors out there except for maybe the crusty old BBEdit, which I do not have fond memories of).
