I'd use this if you added the kubernetes docs

It's open source and very welcoming to new documentation additions!

Take a look at [0] and see if it would be worth the trouble of adding it yourself or at least starting the process.

Reminds 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

If you live inside emacs, https://github.com/areina/helm-dash/ will use dash documentation and use emacs for the search and display of the docs. Also, works on GNU/Linux and Windows. Also, free software. Also, I'm the co-author.

This is great, thank you very much!

Due 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!

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).…

Can you elaborate a bit about your implementation? I'd love to learn more about the techniques you have used.

Add elm docs and I'll come along.

The Elm docs unfortunately don't work without JavaScript enabled, which makes them difficult to scrape / add to DevDocs.

Elm package documentation is just JSON. Very easy to scrape.

Here's a list of all published Elm modules pointing to their respective packages: https://github.com/fiatjaf/module-linker/tree/backends/data/...

Scraped with this simple fish script: https://github.com/fiatjaf/module-linker/blob/backends/data/...
