Questions & Answers

How does this work?

Each page is cached as a key-value pair in IndexedDB (downloaded from a single file).
The app also uses Service Workers and localStorage to cache the assets and index files.

Can I close the tab/browser?

Yes! Even offline, you can open a new tab, go to devdocs.io, and everything will work as if you were online (provided you installed all the documentations you want to use beforehand).

What if I don't update a documentation?

You'll see outdated content and some pages will be missing or broken, because the rest of the app (including data for the search and sidebar) uses a different caching mechanism that's updated automatically.

I found a bug, where do I report it?

In the issue tracker. Thanks!
