General notes

While Zest is still far from being usable and competitive with other solutions, I think it's a good proof of concept for gathering feedback.

Code quality is probably low, because I only just started learning ClojureScript, but I hope to improve.

I've tested the release with Fedora 23, Ubuntu 15.10, OS X 10.11, and Windows 10, and it seems rather usable. Hopefully I didn't miss including any essential library.

Usage

  • After downloading DevDocs in Settings (a dialog available via menu), you must click 'Build Index' before any search results are available.
  • After downloading the Stack Overflow torrent, you must choose tags that interest you and click 'Create Index' below them. It may take couple hours to filter out tags and create Full Text Search index for them

Implemented features

  • Docs download from DevDocs.
  • Stack Overflow dump download via webtorrent.
  • Exact and fuzzy symbols search for DevDocs via SQLite extension.
  • Full Text Search for DevDocs and Stack Overflow.

Some of the known limitations / plans for improvements

  • Search within a single page is not available.
  • Zeal/Dash-like hiding by hotkey is not implemented.
  • Missing support for editor plugins.
  • The app sometimes fails to function properly and requires restarting. (Seems to happen sometimes after creating an index.)
