I very much like DevDocs. But it looks like Python and Go documentation are incomplete. In Dash, the full documentation is available: the library reference of course, but also the language reference and other things. In DevDocs, I only see the library reference. Am I missing something?

Did you Enable it?

Yes, I enabled Python and Go (and other things I use), but only the standard library is covered. The language reference is not available. According to the README on GitHub, it looks like it's a design choice to focus on APIs...

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).…

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?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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...

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.

This looks awesome - is there a way to get an offline version of this?

Yes, look in DevDocs' settings - you can download for offline usage.

That's a really cool offline experience. Works almost too well - I would have never expected to be able to simply load the site via the url when offline.
