Hey guys.
So since Corona announced support for Desktop apps, I was itching to try it. So last weekend, I got my hands dirty
I have planned to make an offline app to browse Corona’s offline documentation for a while now, but was never motivated enough to do it.
Now that we can use Corona to make such an app, it was a case of “why not”?
What the app does :
-
Downloads the documentation for the current public release of Corona. It does this once only, or if the download gets deleted from the application support directory.
-
Displays the documentation via a native web view in the app.
I personally hate having to dedicate a browser tab and mess around trying to navigate back to it whilst i’m working, so I think this is really useful.
Note: Mac only for now (due to no native webviews on Windows. Sorry Windows folk.

Let me know if you encounter any issues, or have any feature requests.
PS: I know you can view Corona’s docs in a browser Window offline if you want, but again, involves opening a browser window or tab. This was a just for fun project also.
Thanks
