Apple's Swift documentation is killing my enthusiasm for learning the language. Their search is so terrible I wish it just redirected to duckduckgo.
When I look up a class, I can't see all of its methods on a single page because it doesn't show methods inherited by the Protocols it conforms to.
Also, Apple's license for the documentation means that sites like devdocs can't put the docs on their website in a better format.
- jshier 2y agoIf you're on macOS, Apple's docs are best viewed through Dash. While it can't overcome the documentation's fundamental lack of visibility into inherited API, its search and presentation are fantastic. If you're not on macOS and just searching open source Swift docs, try swiftpackageindex.org and swiftinit.org. Swift Init especially has fast rendering and better search, though ultimately is based off the same inline docs as Apple's.
