Dash for macOS Reviews

   One of my favourite productivity tools as a software developer

   Once you get use to it, you won't be able to imagine your life without Dash. It will save you a bit of time every day. Many times.

   As a bonus you can use the "snippets" feature as a generic text-expander. That saves me tons of time when writing emails, too.

   p.s. aText is not exactly a direct competitor; however, I replaced it through the snippets feature of Dash.

• DevDocs

  This is awesome!! I use something similar on MacOS but it's a native app with offline support. The offline support is a neat feature but honestly these days if the internet is down I just don't do any development work... - https://kapeli.com/dash. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• DevDocs

  Not a complete answer, but I hope Markdown is or becomes the standard for offline docs and text for local/offline consumption. I only ever write in markdown anyway (usually with http://obsidian.md). The closest thing I know of for a service like RSS to download documents is [Dash for macOS - API Documentation Browser, Snippet Manager - Kapeli](https://kapeli.com/dash). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• At Least Skim The Manual

  There are so many great sources of information out there and tools to improve the developer experience of documentation. Dash can make some of these online resources local for instant search and access on-the-go, if you prefer. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  Https://kapeli.com/dash Somewhat similar tool to Autokey for MacOS that I use as a text expander. Allows for great customization - appending ; to a phrase ensures you don't accidentally expand a keystroke into a phrase/URL/etc ";url" expands into "whatever string you configure". - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Custom Instructions for ChatGPT

  This reminded me that I needed to settle on a good system-wide Snippets manager for MacOS. Having waded through the morass of buggy and subscription-only services many times in the past, I thought to give the open-source Espanso another go, but its last commit was many months ago and I simply could not get it to recognise Ventura permissions. It was then that I remembered that the excellent Dash... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Who has had a successful PWA product?

  Thanks! Word of mouth, mainly. Posted it on Reddit back then, things like that. It grew organically from that. Also, although it’s far from being on top results on SERP (search engine result pages), some people do find it that way. Also: because it is so lightweight, it was included in the Moya app ( - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• A most profound video game: a good cognitive aid for research

  Also available on Google Play Store [1], and it successfully derailed my sleep plans last night. Really breaks your expectations of "I move the character around" within minutes. It reminds me a bit of the card game Fluxx, where every card you play changes the rules. [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hempuli.baba. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Scan, Don't Type – Built a Shopping List App with Leaflet Scanner

  Hey everyone! Ever feel like you're wasting time typing endless grocery lists from those pesky leaflets? Yeah, me too! That's why I built SnapList, a shopping list app that lets you scan leaflets directly, saving you tons of time and effort. SnapList is all about simplicity and efficiency. Just scan those leaflets and watch your shopping list populate magically. Currently, app is available for Android on the Play... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago
