I’m a happy user of Dash (macOS) for years now. Sadly Zeal is not 100% the same in terms of integration etc. at least I never got it running on windows and Linux like on Mac. I only use hot key setup (alt-space in my case) No fancy ide hot keys and such.
There used to be some controversy (around 2015) when the author (single dev) put out yet another breaking version with new license upgrades. The free version was artificially slowed down. He added a new search backend and wanted to be compensated. So all users had to pay again. I upgraded 3 or 4 times. I think it’s a great tool that solves a problem. Some feel that he only wrote a parser/display tool and that the price is too high. I wished I came up with the idea though ;)
- rjzzleep 3y agoI didn't know zeal was being updated at all since the last "release" is almost 5 years old. I recently discovered devdocs.io and the emacs integration[1] and like it so far. [1] https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el
- prox 3y agoCouldn’t one use Obsidian to do the same task? It sounds like it could.
- skrebbel 3y agoI use cheddar for this, it’s so versatile
- therealmocker 3y agoDo you have a link? Never heard of cheddar.
- macksd 3y agoI think skrebbel was parodying prox's reply as a commentary on drive-by comments about a seemingly orthogonal technology.

- mananaysiempre 3y agoThe point of Zeal is downloadable docsets for offline usage (cppreference, MDN, GNOME docs, etc.), whereas Obsidian is more of a personal wiki you fill yourself AFAIU.
- nicce 3y agoYou could clone the doc repos and just open with Obsidian to get nice rendering.
- larusso 3y agoI actually don’t follow the releases just know that it is the variant for windows and Linux.
