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.

I personally use Raindrop.io [0]. I have used it for more than 3 years and it does it's job very well. [0] http://raindrop.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago
I have been using https://raindrop.io/ for this and find it quite useful. Never end up reading everything I save but it keeps my browser less chaotic and adding bookmarks from the browser extension and on iOS is quite seemless. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
You might be thinking of https://raindrop.io which is developed by a Kazakh developer? - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
I use Raindrop[0] for all bookmarks and have flirted with Omnivore and Wallabag over the years. But I always come back to just using Raindrop and "Unsorted" for my read-it-laters. I've got a feed into Reeder from here which works well too. At the end of the day a likely next step after reading something is to want to bookmark it so this workflow works well for me.

There are plenty of good alternatives nowadays: - https://raindrop.io/: Also a one-man show, but probably the best bookmarking tool out there. - https://omnivore.app: Open source and support for newsletters. For my use case though (I like to curate and share), I ended up building an app (https://fika.bar) to bundle bookmarking + RSS Reader + Blogging. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
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 / 25 days ago
Yeah, I do something kind of similar, using Dash [1] snippets which expand to full commands. Since I'm almost always on my mac, it means they're available in every shell, including remote shells, and in other situations like on Slack or writing documentation. I mostly use § as a prefix so I don't type them accidentally (although my git shortcuts are all `gg`-consonant which is not likely to appear in real typing).... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Yeah, I keep thinking that CHM was the peak format for offline docs. Today we have Kiwix [0] and Dash/Zeal [1] – both amazing projects, but somehow they feel more complex, and the formats they use aren’t as ubiquitous.

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 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
