dash.nvim VS zeavim.vim

Here's a simple example of how to build a custom Telescope picker, taken from my Dash.nvim plugin: https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim/blob/0934c31a7c6b6aa40d6866f8840f8836ff4efecc/lua/dash/providers/telescope.lua

Hi, author of dash.nvim here, a plugin for Neovim that allows you to search Dash.app directly from Neovim with your favorite fuzzy-finder plugin (currently supports Telescope, fzf-lua, and Snap).

Hey y'all, author of Dash.nvim here, a Neovim plugin for Dash.app, written primarily in Rust in order to achieve true parallelism and performance.

Maybe the wrong place to ask but do you think this project (my first Rust project) is good enough to get me a Rust job if I already work at the company in a different department doing HTML/CSS/TypeScript/React? https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim

Check out my plugin dash.nvim, the majority is written in Rust. You can do the same with C. Look up “Lua cffi”, there’s a few different libraries that work with a foreign function interface (FFI) between Lua and C.

Dash.nvim is a plugin that allows you to search Dash.app (a documentation aggregator app for Mac) from within Neovim. At first, it started as a Telescope extension, but after my first time posting it in this sub, I received demand for the same thing to support other fuzzy finders (I've also got an open issue to add Linux support using Dasht or Zeal, Linux clients for Dash docsets).

fzf-lua is now supported with v0.7.0!

I'm the author of Dash.nvim and this morning I got this issue: https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim/issues/63

Check out Dash.nvim and see for yourself!

Just did some googling and it seems that there's an alternative that supports Linux: zealdocs/zeal: Offline documentation browser inspired by Dash and KabbAmine/zeavim.vim: Zeal for Vim. Is there any notable differences between Dash and Zeal?

Windows: Velocity (https://velocity.silverlakesoftware.com/)

all support a healthy amount of documentation that you can download and most importantly a very healthy amount of integrations from Vim (https://github.com/KabbAmine/zeavim.vim) to VSCode (https://github.com/deerawan/vscode-dash) - note that on Windows all these apps write to the registry as "Zeal" so remember to uninstall the previous one if you're switching between them.

If you just need a searchable docset that can be made available offline, there's also DevDocs (https://devdocs.io/) - just note that downloaded documentation can disappear if you regularly use the same browser for normal internet use - I'd do things like grab a copy of ungoogled chromium and just use it for this site before traveling if you're gonna be offline for a while (alternatively, there's some electron versions out there and you could package it that way for yourself too)
