  1. zeal

    Offline documentation browser inspired by Dash

    It’s not widely advertised (probably this is the deal) but Zeal works fine on macOS, see this: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/wiki/Build-Instructions-for...

    You don’t need to build it yourself, there is a brew formula.

  2. InfluxDB

  3. devdocs

    API Documentation Browser

  4. feeds

    Collection of Dash docset feeds

  5. devdocs.el

    Emacs viewer for DevDocs

    I didn't know zeal was being updated at all since the last "release" is almost 5 years old.

    I recently discovered devdocs.io and the emacs integration[1] and like it so far.

  6. doxygen2docset

    From Doxygen documentation, create a Docset for use in Dash or Zeal.

    https://github.com/chinmaygarde/doxygen2docset or https://pypi.org/project/doxytag2zealdb.

    Otherwise is it probably best to look for a specific tool for the type of docs and then look through the GitHub submissions to the user-generated docset submissions for clues for specific code bases: https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions/pulls?q=is...

  7. Dash-User-Contributions

    Dash repo of user contributed docsets

    https://github.com/chinmaygarde/doxygen2docset or https://pypi.org/project/doxytag2zealdb.

    Otherwise is it probably best to look for a specific tool for the type of docs and then look through the GitHub submissions to the user-generated docset submissions for clues for specific code bases: https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions/pulls?q=is...
