Dash for iOS, Android, Windows or Linux
TL;DR: Dash-like apps for other platforms have been released. Check out Dash for iOS, Velocity for Windows, Zeal for Linux and LovelyDocs for Android.
I get asked a lot to bring Dash to other platforms. That won’t happen, because:
- I’ve got a lot to add to Dash on macOS and I can’t focus on any other platform
- I’m a complete novice when it comes to developing for any other platform, so I wouldn’t do a great job
Looking for devs to bring Dash to other platforms
I am actively looking for developers of other platforms (iOS, Android, Windows or Linux) that would like to work on a Dash-like app, as their own project and for their own profit.
Later edit: I have found iOS, Windows, Linux and Android devs and Dash-like apps for these platforms should be released sometime in 2014.
What you’ll make:
- An API documentation browser app for your favourite platform
- You can give it your own personal twist or base it on Dash as much as you want
- Release it as commercial, free or keep it for personal use, I don’t care
What you get:
- My help, as much as I can
- Free access to all of Dash’s docsets to be used by your app
- This includes docset updates and I’m also covering the hosting costs
What you won’t get:
- Access to Dash’s source code
What I want in return:
- A link to Dash, on your app’s presentation website and inside the app
Some notes:
- Don’t start working on this without contacting me first
- I’ll give exclusivity to Dash’s docsets to whoever looks most promising
- This is not a weekend project
- Making an awesome documentation browser takes time
In case you’re considering making this a commercial project:
- You really should. Dash is my only source of income
- I really think this is a huge opportunity for indie devs
- I have no idea how much money you’ll make
