   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.

• Just a reminder that WhatsApp is also owned by Facebook

  Meaning, you can go to public instances like searx.me,. Here's the documentation on how to start it up. But , you dont have to trust Searx that they are good people nor do you have to trust their data habits like DDG. Source: about 2 years ago

• Instead of lashing out at duckduckgo for doing what they think is best, ask the deeper question of why we’re all still using centralized services and being disappointed when they behave in a predictably centralized way.

  Consider a future where something like https://searx.me/ is as ubiquitous as Tor. Source: over 2 years ago

• DDG, once a hero has now fallen.

  For those looking for a replacement for Duckduckgo; I would highly recommend using Searx. It's an open source privacy respecting search engine with many decentralized private instances you can swap between. The link I sent is the primary instance, but here is a link with dozens more, and my own private instance. Source: over 2 years ago

• DuckDuckGo is out. I guess I'll try Brave Search.

  The most based solution: Https://searx.me. Source: over 2 years ago

• Uh oh.. What will the vaccinated think of this news?

  Searx.me and Startpage.com are the best search engines right now that are anti-censorship and anti-bias. Source: over 2 years ago

• 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
