It happened thanks to you :) And you/MaxCDN also played a part in getting the app open-sourced sooner rather than later.

Happy our paths crossed again here!

I elaborated a little bit in the past here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/devdocs/T9_FsjB1kHw

I've been thinking about writing blog posts on DevDocs's internals and the techniques it uses for a while, but it's hard to find the time, especially when I already spend a lot of my spare time maintaining/updating the app.

That said, feel free to open a GitHub issue to remind me to write blog posts at some point (if there is interest), or if you have specific questions.

The Elm docs unfortunately don't work without JavaScript enabled, which makes them difficult to scrape / add to DevDocs.

Thanks! Your donation is very much appreciated.

Don't feel like you have to donate, though. The app is cheap to host (one of the benefits of an offline-enabled, no-accounts-required, optimized-to-the-max web app is that the backend doesn't do much :P), and I'm lucky that MaxCDN & others are providing free service to the app.

What keeps me going is seeing the impact that DevDocs is having (people using and liking it). So the best way to "give back" is to spread the word, send a thank you note, and contribute (one thing in particular that would be great to see is more/better extensions & integrations with code editors).

(I'm the creator/maintainer of DevDocs)

Oracle mention this on their website:

  This software and related documentation are provided under a license agreement containing restrictions on use and disclosure and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted in your license agreement or allowed by law, you may not use, copy, reproduce, translate, broadcast, modify, license, transmit, distribute, exhibit, perform, publish, or display any part, in any form, or by any means.
DevDocs is just a hobby of mine and I don't want to waste my time on a documentation that I may have to remove. If Oracle is willing to grant DevDocs a license (I haven't asked them) I'd gladly add the JDK docs to it.

Yes, sorry. I deployed a bug that blocked all browsers for a couple of minutes. It's fixed.

DevDocs 13 years ago

Thanks! It's intentional because I haven't had the time to implement it yet. ;)

DevDocs 13 years ago

Thanks for the idea.

I built a flexible scraper for downloading and filtering the docs so you can except more sources to be added soon.

Toggling docs on and off is also on my todo list.

DevDocs 13 years ago

Thanks. I built a very flexible scraper underneath. JS/DOM docs are coming soon.

DevDocs 13 years ago

Indeed. Thanks for the report! I'll fix it soon.

Edit: fixed

DevDocs 13 years ago

Thanks for the bug report. I'll fix it soon :)

This is my wish list: (I'm running Firefox Beta)

- Show ::before/::after pseudo elements in the DOM inspector.

- An option to clear the web console on page reload.

- An option to hide assets requests / show only ajax requests in the web console.

- A "Storage" tab for viewing cookies, localStorage, applicationCache, etc.

- Merge the Developer Toolbar with the DevTools.

Thanks!
