I wish it had a proper installable app. Relying on browser local storage is a nightmare since your browser will randomly and with no warning delete it all. The whole point of offline docs is that they're available... offline. On more than one occasion I've gone back to devdocs.io and everything I saved locally is wiped out, and of course I'm offline and just can't do anything.

Give me local HTML files I can stash in my filesystem. I actually just use wget to recursively archive entire documentation sites to local folders and serve them up with python's built in web browser. It's the only way to be sure I have accurate and up to date offline docs.
