Could you share what is your motivation behind doing whole domain and web hosting ?

Personally I feel that this whole AI induced problem should even exist in the first place, but even then it is ridiculous, that you have to query some web api to solve this problem, why not just publish parsed and converted to .md set of local files and be done with it.





I agree, it'd be great if Apple provided accessible documentation in the first place. Time was, Apple published self-contained docsets that you could download and read offline.

Apple's ToS pretty explicitly forbid the kind of automation required to download everything. But even if someone did that, it'd only be a snapshot in time. And a lot can can change between OS releases.

As for the hosted web app, I wanted to provide this as a public service. I plan to open source it, so anyone can self-host instead, if they're inclined.


Update — Source is now available here: https://github.com/NSHipster/sosumi.ai

Yeah, pre Swift documentation was very sufficient, dense and locally explorable, since then documentation started to resemble .h copy pasta without comments.
