This looks nice. Anything to reduce the friction of referring to documentation whilst developing is a good thing. Not to detract from this, but I can't not give a ringing shoutout / endorsement to Dash[1] in the context of this conversation. If you are on OSX it is just brilliant, and when combined with Alfred[2][3] is just ridiculously seamless to interact with.

This is really terrific. I think the best feature is the integrated search, which is significantly better than Google if you're looking for authoritative API docs. Questions: How did you source the docs? Can they go stale? What versions are being used and is that configurable?

If you're using Firefox Aurora/Nightly, or Firefox Beta for Android, you can install it as a native app too https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/devdocs?src=search https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/devdocs?src=search

FYI: I've been playing around DevDocs and VIM integration. In the end came up with this script: https://github.com/naquad/devdocs-shell https://github.com/naquad/devdocs-shell - Python 3 + GTK3
