Site-specific app for Rails docs
Unless you’re a Rails genius, you probably need to frequently reference the Rails API docs. And if you haven’t discovered it yet, railsapi.com is awesome.
John Nunemaker suggested that I create a site-specific browser and point it to a local copy of the docs from railsapi.com. I did and have been loving it, so I’m suggesting that you do it too.
Download Fluid (or the comparable app for your platform if you’re not on a Mac). Then download a copy of the docs from railsapi.com and create a new app pointing to that local copy.
Better yet, head over to railslogo.com and grab the Creative Commons licensed logo to use as the icon.
Now my only complaint is that I don’t have docs for Ruby and other gems in this app, but I have a hunch that it won’t be long until that changes.
