Better documentation for PHP, Python, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML, CSS, and DOM
This is especially for PHP, which documentation website sucks. Use for the other languages too.
Happy hacking!

AWESOME!
@tea_time thanks. I was looking for something like this one. I still think that it can be improved, make more user friendly, but is a great start anyway :)
I've been a PHP developer for 10 years now, and I have to disagree; the php website does not suck. It is one of the easiest websites to find information on.
Just type:
php.net/<search term here>
And it will probably find what you're looking for. If you entered a class name, function name, global constant or even a php.ini setting, it will take you directly to the manual page for it.
For example:
php.net/datetime
php.net/string
php.net/strftime
In addition to this, the user notes at the bottom of each page can prove invaluable.
Maybe I was unfair with the PHP website, but only because I want them to be better. I've been a PHP developer for as long as you and the website look the same as the one when I first started back in 1998.
Dochub provides a better interface and search engine with ajax (including REST based search), and is not only about PHP ;)
Let's see:
1. Ajax search engine
2. Clean interface (can ben better)
3. Rest search (try http://dochub.io/#php/explode)
4. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, JQuery, PHP, and Python on the same page
Happy hacking!
Really nice work!
Congratulations :)
@n0pe_net I didn't created the website, just sharing with everyone ;)
@jmarizgit Ah ok, then thanks!
I also can't agree with you on PHP. The PHP doc is one big blob (in contrast to docs on other languages…) and a as huge downer: it lacks all the comments on php.net which are really worth going to php.net.
Hey that's handy and g8 thanks for that documentation's
Awesome!
it's cool the site is on github! local clone here i come ;D
Esta super chevere :), muy buen materia, very clever
I like dochub.io but the documentation is missing some functions.
For example, if you search for "filter_var" in the PHP documentation, nothing shows up :(
Hey thanks I didn't knew about this site and is quite useful!
I don't think PHP website sucks but dochub.io is really cool
Missing functions, classes, interfaces, comments, module-specific requirements/installation/configuration; yes this is much better!
Huh :( And where is Ruby?
I can see that because the JS is sourced from Mozilla, some of the functions are not available cross browser....
eg, Object.watch is not available in Chrome. I think Chrome uses Object.observe
