Thanks

Hey look, it's another submission where the title conveys the exact same amount of information as the URL.

Which is a shame, because it's actually a pretty neat-looking HTML5/css/jquery reference.

If you're on a mac you might want to check out Dash http://kapeli.com/dash

Very simliar goal, but offline and instant. After using it for a while it's hard to imagine going back to reading documentation in a web-browser.

DocHub already exists that does the same thing but with more docs.

Really nice! It would be usable if it was free software so I could add docs for the different libs&langs I'm using. When it's closed, it's sadly not usable (although a very nice show).

Not to mention you can import and make your own DocSets, can integrate it with Xcode and much more. If you're developing anything on a Mac, you should probably have this installed (and pay to support it of course).

It's also a snippet manager, though I don't think many people use it for that purpose.

Very cool - but when I'm on an iPad you keep bring up the keypad because you focus on search. Can you fix that?

For me, DevDocs is nicer at the moment:

- It's faster

- I don't have to select a programming language before I can start searching

- It handles keyboard input a lot better. As soon as the page loads, I can start typing, move down with the arrow keys and activate a selection with the enter key.
