Download docsets from CocoaDocs.org, RubyGems.org, Maven.org (Java and Scala), Packagist.org (PHP) and GoDoc.org.
Pro Supports docsets generated using Doxygen
Pro Great fast documentation lookup
Has a handy sublime plugin. Press CTRL-H and it jumps straight to the docs for that object.
Pro Integrates well with a good selection of apps
They provide very useful integration with apps that are very fitting with using Dash's features. Once integrated, you can really get the feel for being a must have part of the app its integrating with.
Pro Great utility app to use for snippets
Snippet apps come in various forms, such as basic snippet (text) containers and added features with text / keyboard utilities to name a couple. This app not only includes this feature, but takes it a bit further than most by adding unique ways to further customize this practice to your own preference.
Pro Easy to create new docsets in case there isn't one that exits already
Gives plenty of guides and information on how to generate a docset.
Pro Set of snippets
There are snippets created and shared by other people
Pro Web-based
All your snippets are available at work, at home or on your mobile device.
Pro Private pages
All your code is private by default, but you can share specific snippets with others if you want. Some other sites allow private pages only for extra payment.
Pro Code highlighting
It supports highlighting for dozens of languages, even less known ones.
Pro Free
It's absolutely free at the moment.
Cons
Con Forced wait time to view docs
If you use the free version you are very often forced to wait 10 seconds to view something you've chosen to look at. If you change apps or lose focus of Dash, it'll start that 10 second timer over again. A real crappy thing to do to your users in order to get them to buy it. Forcing you to waste your time.
Con Help page
Help page is still under construction.
Con No search yet
Search feature is not available at the moment. So you cannot find snippets by keywords.
