Search hundreds of documentation sites from DevDocs and other sources via Alfred.
Enable the devdocs you want to use in the workflow configuration. The
enabled devdocs are searched by using the name as keyword, for example haskell foobar to search the Haskell DevDocs for "foobar."
A few common languages have short-hands noted in the popup selection, such as
js for JavaScript. In this case, you use js foobar to search instead.
Usage
- ⏎: Open the documentation site.
- ⌥⏎: Copy the URL of the documentation site to the clipboard.

The search indexes that are not from DevDocs are cached. In case of a recent
change to a documentation site, you can manually trigger refreshing the cache
via the Alfred keyword :docs-reload.

In my day job, I am a sociologist studying the social mechanisms underlying the digital economy. For my PhD project, I investigate the governance of the app economy and how software ecosystems manage the tension between innovation and compatibility.
