Alfred workflow for quick offline access to DevDocs.io documentation.
alfred-devdocs is an Alfred workflow that brings DevDocs.io's extensive documentation library into the Alfred launcher on macOS. It enables developers to quickly search and browse API documentation for languages like JavaScript, Python, and frameworks like React without opening a browser. The workflow supports offline caching and integrates seamlessly into Alfred's search interface.
macOS developers who use Alfred and frequently reference technical documentation during coding. It's ideal for those who want to minimize context switching and access documentation quickly from their keyboard.
It eliminates the need to switch to a browser for documentation lookups, offering faster, keyboard-driven access with offline support. Unlike browser-based searches, it integrates directly into Alfred, providing a streamlined workflow for developers who value efficiency.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Integrates with Alfred's fuzzy matching to enable quick, intuitive searches across all added documentation sets, reducing lookup time.
Simple commands like cdoc:add and cdoc:remove allow seamless addition and removal of documentation sets, as highlighted in the README.
Pressing Shift on an entry provides a quick preview within Alfred using Quick Look, minimizing browser switching for quick reference.
Supports HTTP proxy setup with environment variables in Alfred, making it usable in corporate networks behind firewalls, as shown in the README.
No documentation is included by default; users must manually add each set using commands, which can be time-consuming for multiple docs.
The initial global search downloads all documentations at once, causing a delay, as admitted in the README under the Global search section.
Exclusively for macOS Alfred users, making it inaccessible for those on other systems or using different launchers like Spotlight or Raycast.
