Author / creator here. I built this because integrating LLMs into Swift apps meant juggling completely different APIs for MLX, llama.cpp, CoreML, Ollama, and cloud providers. AnyLa…

Following up — I just pushed a fix for this. This latest version significantly improves how references like protocol conformances and default implementations are rendered.

Amen to that. It's funny how virtues like accessibility and good API design matter just as much as ever in this new era. Good ideas don't go out of style.

Hi Saagar! One could indeed use this method to export this information en-masse, however that would require the kind of automated access that the site ToS explicitly forbids. For t…

I think HTML -> Markdown is a bit of a red herring. In many cases, a Markdown distillation of HTML can improve the signal-to-noise ratio — especially for sites mired in tag soup (i…

This is only possible for some of Apple‘s open source Swift code, including the Swift standard library. This is not the case for hundreds of other SDK frameworks, such as SwiftUI. …

Thanks for pointing that out. That’s most likely a mistake in how I’m translating into Markdown. I’ll look into this.

Great idea! I just added that. Try clicking the icon in the header.

Once upon a time, I built a project called `swift-doc`, which eventually got Sherlocked. I think what I was most upset about was their decision to call their thing "DocC". Like, ad…

In my experience, coding agents seem to do a normal fetch when provided links. Which makes sense — headless browser automation is expensive, and only really necessary for interacti…

I agree, it'd be great if Apple provided accessible documentation in the first place. Time was, Apple published self-contained docsets that you could download and read offline. App…

Not yet, but I plan to open source it soon. Just gotta tidy up a little bit, you know?

Sure, here are a few more examples: - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/tasklocal - https://sosumi.ai/documentation/swiftui/button - https://sosumi.ai/documentation/f…

I got tired of Claude hallucinating Swift APIs. It does a good job at Python and TypeScript, but ask it about SwiftUI and it's basically guessing. The problem? Apple's docs are Jav…

Thanks for troubleshooting with us. Glad you got it to work!

What version of macOS are you on? We've been building for macOS 15.3 (Sequoia), but haven't tested earlier versions...

Hi HN! I built Nominate to solve a common problem in my paperless workflow: having a pile of scanned PDFs with meaningless timestamp filenames. Nominate is a native macOS app that …

Mattt here, co-creator of emcee. Thanks! Yeah, having everything just work gives me the same goosebumps that I remember from back in the Web 2.0 days. One of the next steps for us …

Mattt here, co-creator of emcee. Carl and I are working on a PaaS for deploying agents, and emcee has given us a nice way to quickly prototype these kinds of workflows. We can take…

SemBr author here. I chose SHOULD NOT for this rule for a couple reasons: First, as an affordance for text with ambiguous or unknown meaning. Second, as a hedge against introducing…
