Dash for macOS Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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 / 4 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 / 4 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 / 6 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 / 8 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 / 10 months ago

• How can I find what styles are available as an argument for a modifier?

  I use Dash for my API reference, partly because it also has all the other references I need for other languages. It’s easier to paw through when you’ve got exactly this sort of problem. Source: 10 months ago

• This sub turned me onto Raycast, but... No syncing of settings / keyboard shortcuts between machines??

  Hey, the app I recommend shows you all the commands you need per app not just for macOS! Support for programming languages? Download this. For git, docker and neovim download this one. Source: 12 months ago

• quicklisp-apropos: Apropos across Quicklisp libraries

  Some time ago I had a thought that it would be interesting to make something like https://quickref.common-lisp.net/ but in form of docset for [Dash](https://kapeli.com/dash) documentation browser. This will give not only the search, but also a browsable documentation on all Common Lisp packages! Source: 12 months ago

• How do you guys keep a list of the commands you gotta run across different projects?

  Https://kapeli.com/dash has a snippet manager, but I've never used it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Roast My Startup

  I'm highly skeptical because there's been lots of apps that promise an external memory - Asana, Evernote, Notion, Obsidian. Most fall short. But the gap between Obsidian falling short and what I'd like it to do isn't worth $99 per year. There's two productivity tools I find magical: 1. ChatGPT wired into my command prompt. 2. Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash Both are fairly cheap, but I guess what I need is speed of... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Untitled Goose Game Rejected from the Mac App Store Twice

  The question of the blog post was whether it's viable for Mac developers to distribute apps without signing and notarizing them, and I argued it that wasn't: "This is why every Mac developer I know signs up for Developer ID and ships only signed, notarized apps. It would be financial suicide to do otherwise." I've been philosophically opposed to Gatekeeper since its introduction more than 10 years ago, and that... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What apps should I get if I am a programmer in college? Also looking for an app to keep me organized and to brainstorm. Thanks guys.

  Documentationm: Dash (paid) is great but not strictly necessary for quickly referring to documentation. Source: about 1 year ago

• Predictive Text app

  Dash: Slick UI and fairly fast expansion, but mainly aimed at programmers. Limited feature set, but again that might be enough for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Advent of Code and Dash API Browser

  Since I have never used Eclipse Collections before, I have installed the API documentation into Dash for macOS, which is an API Documentation Browser and Code Snippet Manager. I have used Dash for a long time, and love the integration with Alfred to quickly lookup documentation for a method/class. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Introducing: Alfred Workflow for searching online :help & neovim plugins

  Online help can be achieved better using dash (I'm also using : in Alfred for a different purpose), but I find the vim plugin search is still useful. Source: over 1 year ago
