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).

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.

How can I download the rust docs to my phone?
For iOS, there used to be dash, but I'm learning now that was discontinued.

Apple is threatening to remove Farmhouse unless they give 30%
If developer accounts count, then you can run unsigned / self signed code on iOS as well. That's how Dash for iOS was distributed for some time when it was banned from the App store: https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-iOS

Ask HN: How do I code offline for a week?
There’s stuff like https://zealdocs.org/ that allow you to take all relevant documentation with you so offline coding will work.
If you just want to be productive, you could also bring a lot of books or downloaded tutorials on a drive.
Btw, make sure your drive is encrypted and you think of a way to backup your data so you don’t lose the offline progress.

Memex is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed
I’d suggest you look into Kiwix¹ and also Zeal².

What's the Difference Between `ruby-doc.org` and `docs.ruby-lang.org`?
For offline documentation, I use Zeal (called Dash on macos) which looks/works almost identically to rubydoc.info but much faster since it's offline, has a standard interface for all installed language documentations, and only 1 global hotkey away while programming.

Googling for answers costs you time
I highly recommend using local solutions to this local issue: Zeal[1] (aka Dash[2] on MacOS)
Load up the "docsets" of your languages (lightly edited HTML docs for indexing purposes) and use a global keyboard shortcut (F8 for me) to pull up Python/Postgres/Terraform docs, searching for the right function without internet query.
This isn't straight up applicable to all questions of course, but "How do I search regular expressions in Python again?" is now as easy as "re"
Note that the docsets can be converted from normal HTML ones via doc2dash[3], especially useful to load up custom docs like private providers.
