   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.

• What do you think of Date Me Docs?

  I am working on building https://thedrive.ai, a context-aware storage/knowledge base platform. And, recently we rolled out an experimental feature called Date Me Docs, https://thedrive.ai/date. What is Date Me Docs? The "Date Me Doc" is a new feature inspired by a trend highlighted in The New York Times and Wired, where people use detailed, Google Docs-like documents to express their dating preferences. AI...

  If you are using it dor notes only: I am working on https://thedrive.ai. Give us a try? Source: 6 months ago

• How do you even do this startup thing?

  I am working on https://thedrive.ai, a context-aware storage/knowledge base system. I have a decent amount of users, but how do I grow it properly into a startup? Source: 10 months ago

• I struggle managing notes, reading papers, and understanding concepts. So I made this tool to help me out.

  I made a tool called The Drive AI (https://thedrive.ai) where you can upload/link files, websites, and YouTube videos to build your knowledge base, ask questions to it just like ChatGPT, and write new contents based on your knowledge base. I particularly find it helps when reading papers, and to draft something up. Let me know how you use it, and any feedback is really appreciated! Source: 11 months ago

• 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 / 9 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
