Better (for me) is setting the iOS app up as a remote for the macOS app. In Emacs, I can hit `C-c d to` and the iOS app will open the docs for the function my cursor is currently over. I can use my iPad as little docs-only viewer under my monitor.

there's also helm-dash[1], which gives you the documentation part inside your emacs.

It's good, but not great. The search just isn't very smart and, for many documentations, I often end up in the wrong place and have to follow an endless number of ->see also links. There's no fuzzy search, and no understanding of documentation or source code semantics.

Most importantly, the saga of Dash being banned from the App Store, and the author's blatant attempt to use the community as his private army in an attempt to blackmail Apple, have completely ruined his reputation and any goodwill he may have had at some point,

Why would that "ruin his reputation"? Seems like a very OK and logical act: get your users to add their voice against the mistreatment of their app by some store's policies.

ADDENDUM: Hmm, reading into the story, the actual issue is false promoting his apps with fake reviews, not that he tried to use the community to help his case with Apple. The problem is that his case was problematic in itself.

I've been using Dash + Atom for a while now, and have found it's a wonderful addition to my workflow.

> Best of all, the author is responsible

I guess you didn't read the the drama from the last time this app was featured on HN.

it's hard not read that parent comment without a bit of skepticism, especially after what the author of Dash was caught doing.

> The Dash iOS app is a great addition -- try it on an iPad with the Duet second screen app.

I'm confused: Duet is an app for viewing a macOS desktop on the iPad. How would you use it with the Dash iOS app?

When Duet is on, the iPad is akin to a second monitor and can show macOS Dash.

When Duet is off, the iPad is typical and can show iOS Dash, which can handle inbound searches such as from a laptop.

Got it, thanks.

Out of curiosity, what else is on that list?
