Read full description

An everyday Python reference, from strings and collections to threading and design patterns. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. The construct is on the tip of your tongue, but the exact syntax slips away: • How do you sort a dictionary by value? • How do you serialize a class to JSON and read it back? • How do you start a thread and wait for the result? The app answers with a working example; all that is left is to fit it to your task. • 22 sections: basic types, arrays and collections, classes, files, serialization, functions and lambdas, exceptions, regular expressions, threading, databases, algorithms, design patterns. • Run in the app: the example actually runs and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection; the daily limit is 30 runs. • What changed in new versions: 8 sections from Python 3.0 to 3.13, with the old and the new code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: over 200 articles, browsable as a list or searchable by word. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database (JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types). Queries have their own daily limit. • Edit examples and add your own; they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search looks inside the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline: examples, search, favorites. • Comfortable to read: light and dark themes, your own font and size, line numbers, and long lines wrap instead of spilling off the screen. Examples are drawn from professional sources and verified by running them. Built by a developer for developers. In active development since 2015.

AirClip is the simplest way to move what you copy from one device to the next. Copy a link, a paragraph, an image or a file on your iPhone — and it's instantly ready to paste on your other devices. No more emailing things to yourself or fiddling with cables. WHY AIRCLIP • One clipboard, every device — from mobile to desktop, all devices. • Copy anything — text, links, images and files up to 5 MB. • You're in control — sync is OFF by default and turns on with a single switch. Turn it off and your clipboard stays entirely on your device. • Local-first — your history, search and capture all work offline; syncing just adds to it when you're connected. • Secure transport — everything travels over an encrypted (TLS) connection. TEAMS Share a clipboard with the people you work with. Create or join a team, flip it on, and copies flow to everyone on it — perfect for handing off links, snippets and assets without the back-and-forth. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in on each of your devices. 2. Turn Sync on from the Sync tab. 3. Copy something — it shows up everywhere sync is on. Pin the items you want to keep, search your history, and choose exactly which clipboards — personal or team — you're syncing at any time. Your clipboard, everywhere.
