Said what? If I understood your sarcasm correctly, I would assume that according to you statistics describe what people are. For example. Statistically Sweden right now has the highest amount of rapes in Europe [1]. So it means that most of the Swede are rapist. Hmm. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden

And 99% of the Bulgarian visitors to Sweden spend their time sitting on the ground in front of supermarket entrances. So I guess that is what the 99% of people inside Bulgaria do as well?

Wow. I never saw anyone on HN get so low. Ever. In more than 9 years. It appears I was right about you.

Why is it an issue to mention someone's nationality? Do you have perhaps have any pre-conceived ideas around that particular nationality? (Edited out things that should not be offensive, but could be perceived as such.)

> Why is it an issue to mention someone's nationality? It's not an issue to mention someone's nationality. Intent matters. That is why you don't say "he's just a black murderer from NYC" or "he's just an arab terrorist". > Do you have perhaps have any pre-conceived ideas around that particular nationality? No, it seems that you have. What a lame attempt to spin it around. Funny how you edited your post after people c…

Yes, it's such a surprise that there would be scamming going around inside the US.

So this is the Romanian guy who was called out for blaming his "family member" for spamming the app store with paid ratings of his apps, while using his bank account for the Apple Developer connection? ... All after pretending to be innocent and causing many, many developers to rally for him, without knowing he manipulated them? How about we just ignore him and don't continue to reward him with attention?

Yeah, the guy's a fraud, just don't give him any attention.

If the app is functional and actually useful... which seemed to be the case when the whole furore came up, I'm not sure what past activity/scamming of apple reviews has to do with anything.

He got taken off the app store for those activities, doesn't change the fact that a lot of people find it useful.

Your account is five years old, not nine. Anyway, good night.

My account may be only 5 years old, but I've been here before it was even called hacker news.

Is there a way to open devdocs with a shortcut like Dash?

They suggest this plugins ( http://devdocs.io/about ): - Chrome web app - Sublime Text plugin - Atom plugin - Brackets extension - Emacs Package

Needs a PopClip plugin.

I am not the author but here is a similar app for Android users. Previously it was a paid app but now it is free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovelyhq.a...

I have already tried this kind of app and I feel a bit stupid : I don't understand the use case.

In which situation do people read documentation on their phone ?

Despite his past actions, isn't releasing this as an open source project ultimately a generous act? Many people have paid for this product in the past—ergo it has value—and now, it is free for use and modification.

He's not able to sell it now, so it is essentially worthless. He is now trying to salvage his brand/reputation by this "noble" act. I say we should have longer memory than goldfish when it comes to issues like these.

He also used GPLv3 which Apple hates. They even stick with a ridiculously old version of bash (3.2.57 from 2007!) since it had since began using GPLv3 in subsequent versions.

It's the details that matter. :)

It's not well documented online, but if you use Dash on Mac, then you can set up an iOS device as a 'Remote', which lets you use your phone/tablet as a second screen for documentation, which you control from your Mac. I think that's the primary usage scenario.
