As Erlang usage grows the documentation surrounding the platform is being subjected to much more scrutiny. The existing Erlang documentation site is difficult to navigate and I often find myself hunting for a particular module by guessing the module name in the address bar of my browser.
However, Dale Harvey’s erldocs.com takes a lot of the pain out of the old documentation – it has an ‘ajaxy’ fast search, where you can search for a particular function, a module, or both; but it doesn’t sacrifice state in favor of interactivity, because the pages are still static html.
Overall erldocs.com is a great improvement on the presentation of Erlang documentation.
My only quibble is there’s no link to Erlang Inside on the erldocs home page

I find http://erlapi.prepor.ru/docs/ to be slightly better
Also with source on github: http://github.com/prepor/erlapi/tree

reminds me of gotapi.com – way better than the existing docs… though i like to search using / in FF on ruby docs – it’s faster than clicking the search box

Thanks Dmitrii – i forgot to include that one, though i just saw it last week. What do you like better?
My problem w/it is I couldn’t easily remember the URL…

Hey Chad
Cheers for the link
having the pages served as static html without frames was pretty important to me because the type as you search is never going to be as good as google, and direct linking is handy.
sorry for the oversight on the front page
Im still undecided about quite how to organise that part, but a bunch of bugs to fix in the actual docs still first.

Great!

@Chad
Probably the color scheme and the fact that the page doesn’ reload
However, erldocs is great when you need to send a link. I’ll try to get the two authors cooperate

Oh, yeah. That is a problem with prepor
What I do is I do a search on Twitter for it
