   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.

• Focused Work, Distraction-Free Coding

  Dash for MacOS (proprietary, paid) has the documentation for over 200 APIs and over 100 cheat sheets, and the ability to generate documentation for packages for Swift, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, Go, Rust, Scala, Dart, Haskell, Hex, Clojure. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Local-First Documentation: What It Is and Why Your AI Agent Needs It

  This isn't a new idea for developer tools. DevDocs, Zeal, and Dash have offered offline documentation browsing for years. What's new is applying this architecture to AI agents — giving your coding assistant the same offline, instant, version-accurate access to docs that you'd want for yourself. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• The IDEs we had 30 years ago ... and we lost

  "the IDE had to be discoverable right away (which it was) and self-contained to offer you a complete development experience" This right here was the key to super flow state. Lightning fast help (F1), very terse and straightforward manuals. I have tried to replicate this with things like Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash), to some degree of success. The closest thing I had to this in windows was probably Visual Studio... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: Self-updating MCP server for official pip, uv, poetry and conda docs

  You're absolutely right about the root cause being outdated AI knowledge bases/training data. I agree, my solution doesn't address that directly. Where this actually shines is with local LLMs (Ollama, etc) - smaller models, no API costs, fully offline, and the AI gets fresh docs without waiting months for model retraining cycles. Your point about convincing major providers to integrate something like Dash... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Man pages are great, man readers are the problem

  Https://kapeli.com/dash for MacOS supports man pages just like any of its many other documentation sources. Just prefix the search query with `man:`. Absolute hall of fame app IMO. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• No help from Google. TL;DR- don't trust them with your data

  I just used multcloud.com to transfer all of my photos to Dropbox. Im pretty sure it retained all of the original photo data and was way easier than that takeout bullshit. Source: about 3 years ago

• Google Workspace emailed me saying i reached my limit

  Better use Rclone for this. I don't have very much experience using rsync, but I know Rclone would do this job very fine. If you don't want to get a VPS or run Rclone locally, you could consider a service like multcloud.com to migrate from Google Drive to Dropbox. Source: about 3 years ago

• please teach me a fast way to copy/sync all photos in Google photos to another cloud storage without download, I deleted these photos in my Android smartphone

  I did some Googling, and found there's a service called MultCloud. Source: over 3 years ago

• Gmail/Google Workspace Drive Migration

  I might have found a workaround if no one else has any other idea. This site (multcloud.com) is for transferring between clouds. Source: about 4 years ago

• Google Photos migration tool

  I have tried multcloud.com, cloudsfer.com end some minor ones. None of these are accurate IMHO. They are not able to move all contents leaving me with an issue to check hundreds of items. Also they do not provide a simple feature: move ALL from A to B, period. I do have loose photos and many Albums I would like to preserve. Sadly, Google Drive desktop client is not able to create Albums based on directories. Source: over 4 years ago
