Thanks! Your donation is very much appreciated. Don't feel like you have to donate, though. The app is cheap to host (one of the benefits of an offline-enabled, no-accounts-required, optimized-to-the-max web app is that the backend doesn't do much :P), and I'm lucky that MaxCDN & others are providing free service to the app. What keeps me going is seeing the impact that DevDocs is having (people using and liking it).…
Could you specify more on the front-end code on this project, did you hand-roll your own javascript front-end or did you use a framework? The whole thing is rather impressive and I'm looking to do something similar to your sidebar with my own project. Is all of your open source code open to be re-used/modified?
All of the code is licensed under MPL 2.0 [1], so you're welcome to reuse/modify it in your own projects.

Can you elaborate a bit about your implementation? I'd love to learn more about the techniques you have used.
I've been thinking about writing blog posts on DevDocs's internals and the techniques it uses for a while, but it's hard to find the time, especially when I already spend a lot of my spare time maintaining/updating the app.
That said, feel free to open a GitHub issue to remind me to write blog posts at some point (if there is interest), or if you have specific questions.

What? That link doesn't have any proof that "the Dash author has engaged in unethical practices". Neither any other link I could find about the whole controversy. Actually, everyone seems to be saying things are complicated, what seemed to be true actually wasn't, it's hard to take sides, etc: https://daringfireball.net/2016/10/apple_dash_controversy
Gruber makes it pretty clear in your link that the author of Dash engaged in unethical practices, just not with the Dash app (or the account used to publish Dash). Heck, publishing the phone call alone is unethical, regardless of any of the alleged app review behavior.
Publishing the phone call was kinda dumb, yeah, but it's still pretty far from "engaging in unethical practices". It seems more like a guy feeling cornered, acting under pressure and making bad decisions.

Re: DevDocs API Documentation
#117Due to some very annoying behaviour of gratipay (the donation service devdocs uses) I have donated over $100 to them last year of the course of a few months. Not what I wanted to donate, but then again there aren't many websites that I use more often in my day to day work. So I am not too bummed about it. Great work guys!

Re: DevDocs API Documentation
#118Reminds me of Dash[1] which is especially useful when configured in your editor: press a key to open documentation for the word under the cursor. 1: https://kapeli.com/dash
The Dash author engaged in unethical practices and then attacked Apple when they closed his account. http://www.loopinsight.com/2016/10/10/apple-responds-to-dash...
In any case, it's water long under the bridge now, and Dash is an excellent app used my many developers (including within Apple). Trying to poison the well is in pretty bad taste.

One of the greatest in-kind sponsorships MaxCDN did for sure. Really happy to see you're still at it after all these years Thibaut!
Happy our paths crossed again here!
Re: DevDocs API Documentation
#120I've used this off and on for a while, but the hardest thing for me is breaking the google habbit (or ddg as often as not in my case) and actually performing the search on that site. I can !dd with duckduckgo to get to devdocs, but I wish there was some natural language processing that knew I wanted to look up a cpp/rust what have you term and send me there. Additionally, C# doesn't seem to be included, which is a bi…
I don't think there's any reason to use this for Rust, honestly. You'll want to unify your dependencies using `cargo doc` and then just browse std documentation on https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ (and other stuff on docs.rs)
