Desktop client for devdocs.io
Authors: egoist
Usage
devdocs-desktop is available as an AppImage which means 'one app = one file', which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
I found devdocs via google search, and it was only by chance that I clicked on the three dots, then 'offline data'. I've been trying to get some offline documentation on my tablet for a while. I've installed what I need to my pc, now for mobile. DevDocs Desktop. DevDocs.io combines multiple API documentations in a fast, organized, and searchable interface. This is an unofficial desktop app for it. Taxa Network provides trustless applications and services with guaranteed integrity and confidentiality. This enables developers to create high performance, privacy-preserving and highly developable Trustless Services (tServices) for their web3 applications.
Running devdocs-desktop on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the devdocs-desktop AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing devdocs-desktop
If you want to restrict what devdocs-desktop can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating devdocs-desktop
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new devdocs-desktop AppImage.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see devdocs-desktop and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing devdocs-desktop in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the devdocs-desktop AppImage
Please consider to add update information to the devdocs-desktop AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.
Improve this entry by shipping an AppStream metainfo file inside the AppImage in the usr/share/metainfo directory. We have an online tool that makes it easy to make one.
