   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 / about 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 / 9 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  You're absolutely right about the root cause being outdated AI knowledge bases/training data.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 / 12 months 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

• Show HN: Winglang – a new Cloud-Oriented programming language

  GP may have been referring to Serverless Framework (http://serverless.com//). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Invocation error - can't find any results helping me to solve this issue

  I deployed a lambda and http api gateway using a serverless.com (sls) template as a start. I get the following error when it processes a specific request:. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Deploying Lambdas from Zipped Code on S3 vs Image Repository

  Have you tried serverless.com ? It lets you have infrastructure as code. Source: over 3 years ago

• [p] I built an open source platform to deploy computationally intensive Python functions as serverless jobs, with no timeouts

  - With Lambda, you manage creating and building the container yourself, as well as updating the Lambda function code. There are tools out there such as sst or serverless.com which help streamline this. Source: over 3 years ago

• AWS Lambda, a good host for a rest API?

  If you'd like to use Lambda, usually you need to engineer FOR it, from day one, you don't (often) get to choose some other framework and shoehorn it into Lambda and Serverless. There's some great frameworks to help deploy code into Lambda easily and create REST endpoints for things, one such frameworks is serverless.com that helps easily deploy to it, but it lacks a framework for doing REST that also supports...
