nvim-rs VS zeal

Nvim-rs is a rust library for writing rpc clients for neovim, utilizing the async/await language feature. It allows to write guis that embed neovim (like neovide and gnvim), external clients (like nvim-send), or more standard plugins (like this port of the iconic scorched earth).

2) Not sure, did you see the examples and the docs on them (note there's a submodule with documentation for some of them)? Can you be a bit more specific on what's missing? It is true however that I left integrating the plugin into neovim to a reference to the original scorched earth. I think you're right that I should integrate that into the examples documentation, thanks for pointing that out!

This is really cool. I am in the early stages of trying to do something similar. I've been building atop https://github.com/KillTheMule/nvim-rs where neovim sends rpc calls to a rust async runtime. Is that similar to how things were done in your previous iteration?

I guess this:

There's also Zeal (https://zealdocs.org/) which is basically the same as Dash but open source and runs on non-Mac devices.

For offline tech documentation you can use Zeal. Must have tool for poor internet connection places. Present in ubuntu repos. https://zealdocs.org/

ads don't have to proprietary

here's one example of ads in FOSS https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/779

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.

I’d suggest you look into Kiwix¹ and also Zeal².

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.

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.
