Dash for macOS Reviews

   One of my favourite productivity tools as a software developer

   Once you get use to it, you won't be able to imagine your life without Dash. It will save you a bit of time every day. Many times.

   As a bonus you can use the "snippets" feature as a generic text-expander. That saves me tons of time when writing emails, too.

   p.s. aText is not exactly a direct competitor; however, I replaced it through the snippets feature of Dash.

• DevDocs

  This is awesome!! I use something similar on MacOS but it's a native app with offline support. The offline support is a neat feature but honestly these days if the internet is down I just don't do any development work... - https://kapeli.com/dash. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• DevDocs

  Not a complete answer, but I hope Markdown is or becomes the standard for offline docs and text for local/offline consumption. I only ever write in markdown anyway (usually with http://obsidian.md). The closest thing I know of for a service like RSS to download documents is [Dash for macOS - API Documentation Browser, Snippet Manager - Kapeli](https://kapeli.com/dash). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• At Least Skim The Manual

  There are so many great sources of information out there and tools to improve the developer experience of documentation. Dash can make some of these online resources local for instant search and access on-the-go, if you prefer. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  Https://kapeli.com/dash Somewhat similar tool to Autokey for MacOS that I use as a text expander. Allows for great customization - appending ; to a phrase ensures you don't accidentally expand a keystroke into a phrase/URL/etc ";url" expands into "whatever string you configure". - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Custom Instructions for ChatGPT

  This reminded me that I needed to settle on a good system-wide Snippets manager for MacOS. Having waded through the morass of buggy and subscription-only services many times in the past, I thought to give the open-source Espanso another go, but its last commit was many months ago and I simply could not get it to recognise Ventura permissions. It was then that I remembered that the excellent Dash... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• We are removing support for Stack: PDF Scanner by Google

  GeniusScan is great: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thegrizzlylabs.geniusscan.free As the post said, Google Drive also has this built in, but it's not very good IMO. Adobe and others also have their own. I like Genius the most, personally, but there's really a bunch of them on the app store. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• The tiny chip that powers Montreal subway tickets

  My favorite household NFC usage? NFC alarm clock. It makes me physically get out of bed and bring my phone to tap specific NFC tag somewhere around the house in order to turn off the alarm. Then, I may as well wake up, since I'm already out of bed : ) Android app - NFC Alarm Clock - - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• My New App for Parents to Buy and Sell Gently Used Baby and Kids' Gear

  Hello there - I’m built and launched a new app called Growr - it's a marketplace for baby & kids stuff. As a parent myself, I’ve experienced firsthand how quickly our little ones outgrow their clothes, toys, and gear. It’s tough on the wallet and contributes to unnecessary waste. That’s why I created Growr, a marketplace specifically designed for buying and selling gently used baby and kids' items. My goal is to... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• How does a computer/calculator compute logarithms?

  Good article. I, too, am fascinated by calculators and how they work, especially the HP scientific RPN calculators. So much so, that I ended up developing this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limpidfox..... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: Who has had a successful PWA product?

  Thanks! Word of mouth, mainly. Posted it on Reddit back then, things like that. It grew organically from that. Also, although it’s far from being on top results on SERP (search engine result pages), some people do find it that way. Also: because it is so lightweight, it was included in the Moya app ( - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago
