Hey HN, I made OpenDoc, a free and open-source offline docs reader for Windows, macOS, and Linux (GPL-3.0).
I built it because I wanted something faster and more modern than what's currently out there, and also a real open-source alternative to Dash on macOS.
Just tried it out, it is a nice touch that just by changing the docset directory under Settings/Docsets to Zeal’s docset directory (".local/share/Zeal/Zeal/docsets/" in Linux) it picked them up instantly without having to select and install them again.
The AppImage just works, no issues at all and the UI is clear, it is a refreshingly friction-free experience and I’m going to run it for a few days alongside Zeal, we will see how it goes but after a few minutes it feels like an instant upgrade without any downsides.
Additionally, switching the language to Spanish works perfectly, I haven’t seen any wacky terminology or half-translated things which is why I normally just select English, so I’m leaving it in Spanish. Good job!
