Alfred Dev Doctor – An Alfred workflow for documentation search

  • This reminds me of Mozilla's Ubiquity a few years ago [1]. You could write commands for it with JavaScript that would make http requests as you type and render bits of HTML. It seems Ubiquity no longer exists, which is a shame.

    I'd love to see something like this that integrates with the browser or command line. Perhaps Ubuntu's Unity comes close.

  • It seems great. Thanks.

    Is there any possibility to integrate this with Dash? (http://kapeli.com). I like having offline documentation and being able to search dash via alfred with suggestions would be great.

  • Oh man, I've been holding off on upgrading Alfred for a while because I didn't see the point, and now I'm upgrading so I can download a free add-on. This is an honest killer app for Alfred's new workflow feature.

  • I clicked the link, I saw something I might like and would use but I found absolutely no instructions or information on how to actually use the downloaded archive. Is it mac only? How do you run it?

  • Are there any tools that can read most standard formats of library documentation (cross-language) and then present it all in a standardised way, e.g. in a locally hosted web app?

  • Rails but not Ruby?
