You'll also need some HTML rendering engine for docsets. Overall it looks like it's good for graphics-rich and custom-rendered applications. I've tried briefly using it once for doing a very simple application, but it seemed much harder to implement usual desktop-like widgets. There is also PyQt ( ) with Qt5 support, but its free license is GPL-only, so if you're not doing open source, it's not going to work, unless you buy their commercial license.īTW, Zeal's original author here - thanks for mentioning Zeal and good luck with your project!Īs some personal advice, I wouldn't try Kivy for such content-oriented desktop app. There's LGPL PySide ( ) which should be suitable for commercial projects under LGPL, but PySide is Qt4 only.

So, yeah, Dash was probably the best $30 I spent back in 2012. Sort of a shame it's Mac-only, since I keep looking around for ways to jump to Linux, but it looks like there're some open source alternatives. Either way, it not being closed off to outside docsets was nice, since I imagine it would've been easy to not allow it.Īnyway, glad to see it on HN since I'm a huge fan of Dash after using it for years. I make a lot of my own docsets as well (i.e., ones for GLFW 3, Gambit Scheme, JeroMQ, and so on), since kapeli was hesitant in the past to add docsets that would be only of interest to really narrow groups of people, though it looks like the user docset thing on GitHub sort of fixes that.

The ability to almost instantly search through tons of different docsets and find what I'm looking for, narrow them down, create groupings, and so on has made it absurdly useful to me. I started using it back when it was a free beta and bought it once that was an option (iTunes receipt says that was a few days over two years ago), and I've probably used it daily since then.
