Devbook

Hey PH community! 👋 @valentatomas and I started building Devbook when we realized how much time we spend on googling and going through different websites when coding. Current general internet search engines weren't made for developers but they're a tool that every developer is using almost every day. We felt like we are sometimes losing hours per week searching on the internet. That's why decided to build a search engine for developers. Starting with Stack Overflow and official documentation. We are both developers and have been working together for more than 11 years. With Devbook, our productivity has increased. It's now also easier to stay in the coding flow because we don't have to leave our IDEs and go to the browser so much. We just hit a shortcut to show Devbook, get what we need and go back to coding. 10x faster than going to a browser. This is how Devbook works 👇 Devbook is a desktop app that works similarly to Spotlight on macOS. You hit a global shortcut and can start searching in Stack Overflow and docs right away. Since Devbook appears as an overlay on top of an app you're using right now, you don't have to leave your editor at all. Devbook can be fully controlled with just a keyboard. Even copying code snippets can be without touching a mouse. 📚 Currently we support these docs * Python * Pandas * Scikit * PyTorch * Jest * Mocha * Chai * Golang * Elixir * Flask * Django * TypeScript * Rust * React * Rails * Ruby * Web DOM API * Nunjucks * NPM * Node.js * HTTP * HTML * Docker * NumPy * CSS * JavaScript
 We are continuously adding more. We are also working on a way to add docs for NPM packages, PIP packages, Rust crates, etc. A lot of exciting features are coming to Devbook this year. 💰 Pricing: Free. We want Devbook to be free for solo devs. Later on, we will introduce premium plans for teams. We would love to learn what you think so we could make Devbook better. With your feedback we can make developers better and more productive! 🙏 - Vasek (co-founder)

Great useful product! Well done!

Great idea! One quick suggestion, from being a long-time fan and user of https://devdocs.io/: it would be nice to be able to select more than one active documentation source and keep them active persistently – for example, if my stack is TypeScript on Node.js with Jest, I would probably like to search across TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js and Jest all the time without switching sources. For the rest, brilliant product! Love how you kept everything navigable through keyboard 🤓⌨️

Great product, it really helps me working more productive

Within seconds of the product introduction, I'm sold on the idea of this product. Kudos for an amazing product.

Brilliant idea, Vasek & Tomáš, thanks for building it! I'm trying to use it in my Windows laptop, but I can't go past the initial screen as the button is hidden at the bottom and I can't scroll - my screen size is quite small and zoomed-in. May be worth some debugging 🙈

Since it's a search engine for documentation do you plan on allowing users a way to add their own internal or custom documentation for like homelab environments or user-specific usecases somehow? Example. I'm learning docker-compose currently and i'm setting stuff up on a laptop in my house, could i somehow add documentation -- to list out what computer it's on the static ip of the computer, necessary passwords and any other documentation of my setup, -- and be able to search that within devbook when i'm working on my compose files on my local machine, or even potentially host devbook custom files and sync them between my computers for access anywhere?
