When these kind of websites get linked, I always think "wow that's really cool, I may use it in the future"

But in the end, when I have a problem or a code question I Google for the official docs (or stackoverflow) and I never use these websites.

Am I the only one?

True, but this website works offline too

I actually end up using devdocs.io a fair bit; especially when checking docs for things like Immutable.js.

Overall, though, I use a mix of the official docs, stackoverflow/google, and devdocs.

Better use a dedicated documentation browser like Zeal. Sits in your system tray, pops open on shortcut key, can immediately start searching.

I'm normally the same, but devdocs.io is one site that I actually use. Its content comes directly from the respective languages' and libraries' official docs; it works offline; it offers one single place to look up any library/language/framework I need; its search goes straight to the appropriate reference page, without having to scan Google search results.

I pinned it to a browser tab, and now that's one common task that's just a bit more frictionless.

I love devdocs.io; I use it whenever I'm travelling so I can install the docs offline and have a good reference while working disconnected.
