#12Found a big bug: use up/down arrow keys to select an item on the left, then hit right and left keys to open and close the sub-lists. But, if you hit right twice or more it will append the sub list continuously below.

#13If 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.
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.
Dash has great support for CocoaDocs too so you can import open source libraries' DocSets. ( disclaimer: I made CocoaDocs. ) for example: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/AFNetworking/1.3.1/

I concur, Dash is ace and a godsend when coding far away from Internet access.

FYI, Apparently there is a clone for Linux called ZealDocs (http://zealdocs.org/).

#17Just a feed back: For me, I click on HTML(1) in the menu on the left, and it expands below the page. There seems to be a thin scroll bar to the right to scroll down, but I cant grab it to scroll down. Only arrow keys and mouse wheel work. IMHO, scroll bar needs some work.
Edit: (1)Correction I click on HTML, then HTML5. Then the list goes below the bottom of the browser, then I cant grab the scroll bar.
Sorry for any confusion.

#18DocHub already exists that does the same thing but with more docs. http://dochub.io/
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.
Sure but it seems far less content. Maybe speed will suffer as content increases. Sites like this, IMHO, are about content, not speed.

But only with fraction of content...
Re: DevDocs
#20I would love an interface like this for MDN's JS documentation.
