https://devdocs.io/offline https://devdocs.io/offline can also download 600 documentation sets into the browser. I don't know how reliable it is over several months "Note: your browser may delete DevDocs's offline data if your computer is running low on disk space and you haven't used the app in a while."

  Shame they don't offer something like an electron app with guaranteed persisted storage. Or even just a .zip containing everything, to be served from a local web server. Maybe install it into a separate browser profile & make a backup of it just in case

    There's https://zealdocs.org https://zealdocs.org and it's something similar if not the same. For Mac you need to buy the Dash app.

  If you're using firefox, create a separate profile and add devdocs documentation to it. That keeps your docs isolated from general browsing and so you reduce the risk of the browser deleting it to free up space.

    Thank you for giving me the solution to this problem! I always wanted devdocs to work (long train journeys especially would suddenly be more fun) but after this happened a couple of times and I couldn't figure it out or stop it I gave up.

Another thing you can checkout is for example HTTrack, you can use it to make a local clone of a website. I have used it when moving to a remote location where I wouldn't have Internet for a long time.

  Nice that you recommended HTTrack. That's a name I haven't heard in a long while: a blast from the past :).

"You can KINDA download MDN" Or you just download them zipped here: https://kapeli.com/mdn_offline https://kapeli.com/mdn_offline In general, you can use a crawler and download (allmost) any website you like. Works better with static sites of course, but learning ressources usually are.
