   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.

• Man pages are great, man readers are the problem

• Why "alias" is my last resort for aliases

• Ask HN: What is one software product that boosted your productivity?

  Dash https://kapeli.com/dash Mac app. A native standardised search and browsing interface for the documentation of almost every programming language out there (and in some cases, their third-party libraries too). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Rerun: Visualize Multimodal Data over Time

  Rerun is great. I wish they prioritize rerun_sdk build for iOS and/or Android - so that you can log remotely from mobile devices. Serializing and streaming images, depthmaps, sensors data in own code is a pain and rerun has done great work with that. A little worrying for me that rerun seems getting more complicated and verbose and API changes frequently. The whole vizualization code can clutter algorithm/code... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• More content by people, for people in Search

  > script that does some lookups for you Might want to check out https://plagiashield.com/ I use it occasionally but don't have an active subscription. But it's decent at finding stolen content (except for false positives on privacy policy & TOS). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
