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?
