Alfred Dev Doctor – An Alfred workflow for documentation search
- karka91 14y agoI clicked the link, I saw something I might like and would use but I found absolutely no instructions or information on how to actually use the downloaded archive. Is it mac only? How do you run it?
- sydlawrence 14y agoIt requires alfred, it does state that just below the download link. Alfred is only on mac, yes.

- eknkc 14y agoIt seems great. Thanks. Is there any possibility to integrate this with Dash? (http://kapeli.com http://kapeli.com). I like having offline documentation and being able to search dash via alfred with suggestions would be great.
- sydlawrence 14y agoSure, I could try and add dash into it.
- sydlawrence 14y agop.s. it's also on github so anyone can add anything they'd like it there :)
- larve 14y agoI have dash lookup in alfred (without autocomplete though), by typing dl. I don't remember where I got it from: on ApplicationIsRunning(appName) tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName) return appNameIsRunning end ApplicationIsRunning on alfred_script(q) if ApplicationIsRunning("Dash") is false then do shell script "open -a Dash" end if tell application "Dash" activate end tell tell application "System Events" keystroke "f" using {option down, command down} keystroke "a" using command down keystroke delete key keystroke q end tell end alfred_script
- weslly 14y agoDash already have some integration with alfred (without the suggestions). http://cl.ly/image/461y1R1X3L1C http://cl.ly/image/461y1R1X3L1C
- bogdansrc2 14y agoHi, Dash's developer here. Dash actually now has a Alfred 2 workflow very similar to the one above. In a nutshell, the Alfred 2 workflow performs the search in Dash in the background and shows the results inside Alfred. This is what it looks like: http://cl.ly/image/0h2r0d3b1c2h http://cl.ly/image/0h2r0d3b1c2h. This is how you get it: https://twitter.com/kapeli/status/316074209568755712 https://twitter.com/kapeli/status/316074209568755712. It's still in beta, so do expect some bugs (although no bugs have been reported so far). If you absolutely don't like betas, wait for the next update of Dash (version 1.8.2).
- wodow 14y agoAre there any tools that can read most standard formats of library documentation (cross-language) and then present it all in a standardised way, e.g. in a locally hosted web app?
- micampe 14y agoI use Dash http://kapeli.com/ http://kapeli.com/ The only annoying thing is that it updates so frequently to add doc sets I don't care about.
- cabbeer 14y agoAnything that's not OS specific, or compatible with linux?
- touristtam 14y ago+1 on the aboce comment. yeah that's great and all but since it is only on OSX do I need to turn to 'burning and looting'?
- vinceguidry 14y agoRails but not Ruby?
- sydlawrence 14y agoyeah sorry, i couldn't find a simple ruby api doc to use. Feel free to file a pull request though. (I'm not a ruby nor rails dev)
- dave1010uk 14y agoThis reminds me of Mozilla's Ubiquity a few years ago [1]. You could write commands for it with JavaScript that would make http requests as you type and render bits of HTML. It seems Ubiquity no longer exists, which is a shame. I'd love to see something like this that integrates with the browser or command line. Perhaps Ubuntu's Unity comes close.

- avolcano 14y agoOh man, I've been holding off on upgrading Alfred for a while because I didn't see the point, and now I'm upgrading so I can download a free add-on. This is an honest killer app for Alfred's new workflow feature.
- sydlawrence 14y agothanks :)
