Brilliant!

Suggestion: I would love to see the full list of available pods (not just search) with short description next to them somewhere.

Hey guys & gals, I created cocoadocs to try and fill a gap in the iOS ecosystem. It's a site that acts similar to rubydocs in that it gets the latest cocoapods libraries and documents them using a custom flavour of appledoc. I'm planning on adding support for Xcode and Dash over the next few weeks to make it even easier to use!

Thanks, this is really easy to do as right now cocoadocs generates a jsonp file of every cocoapod: http://cocoadocs.org/documents.jsonp - so whilst ATM I'm not planning on doing this, someone can do it very easily.

Doesn't have anything on AvFoundation. That's kind of my litmus test.

What? I'm pretty sure that CocoaDocs is for projects on CocoaPods, i.e. not Apple provided libraries.

That is great! Didn't know my lib is so well documented ;)

AVFoundation is an apple library, which isn't on cocoapods meaning cocoadocs doesn't support it. Apple do their own documentation pretty well and I don't really see a need to duplicate that to be honest.

AVFoundation is a library provided by Apple. CocoaDocs documents third party libraries published through the CocoaPods (http://cocoapods.org/) tool.
