http://zestdocs.org/ is my old project I've abandoned with similar idea. If anyone feels like continuing/rewriting, or perhaps even taking over the domain, GitHub organization, macOS app, or whatever really, you can email me via hn at the website's domain. (Note that I've set up the MX records there only a few minutes ago, so it may take some retries to be able to reach this email.)

Thanks, I've seen italki but [judging by https://www.italki.com/teacher/apply] it seems to focus on matching students to teachers who then can talk via Skype, while my question is more about services that replicate traditional teaching media. (recorded audio, video, printouts, perhaps whiteboard)
(Perhaps my question wasn't clear enough. My teacher is not yet looking for online students, just hoping to try some tools to see if it could work for him at all.)

Wow, great! And here I've found this exactly ~1 day after wasting time trying to implement something similar for my study planning purposes. :) [Shameless plug: https://jkozera.github.io/oudashboard/ - you can load the calendar from https://jkozera.github.io/oudashboard/sample.ics instead of fetching one from the OU, no sign up is required]
Given the above, I would love to integrate these calendars with some Zenkit API instead. I see a 'Generate new API key' option in settings, but cannot find any API docs anywhere. Is API access going to be free? Please at least allow it for students. :)

Or Zeal (http://zealdocs.org)
Or Zest (http://zestdocs.org)
Disclaimer: I'm (co-)author of both, and to be honest, Zest sadly isn't really maintained now.

Stack Overflow posts are CC-licensed and all the data is available at https://archive.org/details/stackexchange - this is where Zest downloads it from.
Dash also provides SO search, though only in titles (no full text search).

I think this is going to have a different target audience. Dash includes tons of documentation from very diverse set of sources, including .NET and Apple docs. Zest supports only DevDocs and Stack Overflow. It is also open source and works on more platforms, so may be eventually better for people preferring FOSS.
Zest is also pretty much an experimental proof of concept at this point and thus far from being as polished as Dash.
However, I think full text search is a very cool feature which Dash is currently missing, which was the main factor which motivated me to go ahead and try implementing it.

Oops. Forgot to read 'Show HN' rules before posting it. Renamed.
(Referring to "For example, blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they don't count as Show HNs." at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html)

Thanks! You can compile it for OSX yourself with some effort, but it's not going to be supported any time soon due to agreement with Dash's author, and is ugly being cross-platform as opposed to native like Dash.

http://zealdocs.org/ - 2 years old dev documentation browser. Maybe not exactly overlooked with 2400 GitHub stars, but never hit HN frontpage, and 0.1.1 was recently released. :D
Is #2703 a user report or a developer report? Why would a user use GitHub and not https://support.signal.org/? Who is directing any sort of negative energy, when the reporter is swearing publicly at the developer?
