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.

HTMLtoMarkdown converts HTML and web page URLs into clean Markdown. Paste HTML, open an HTML file, or simply enter a URL and let the app pull out the article content and convert it — all on your device, with nothing sent to an external server. OVERVIEW Turn blog posts, technical docs, and news articles into well-formed Markdown. HTMLtoMarkdown parses HTML with SwiftSoup and converts it with a Turndown-based engine, handling headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, tables, blockquotes, and code blocks. KEY FEATURES • Convert by pasting HTML directly • Convert by opening an HTML file • Convert a web page by entering its URL • Three extraction modes: article only, full page, or raw HTML source • Metadata extraction (title, author, publish date, OGP, Twitter Card, JSON-LD, canonical URL) • Automatic YAML Front Matter • Relative URLs are automatically converted to absolute • Choose how images are handled: keep original URLs, remove them, save locally, or save locally and export as a ZIP with the Markdown • WebView-based loading for JavaScript-rendered pages, in addition to standard static fetching • Batch-convert multiple URLs at once • Receive a URL from Safari's share sheet and convert it automatically (Share Extension) • Edit and preview the converted Markdown • Copy, share, or save the result as a .md file • Conversion history with list view and delete • Fine-grained conversion rules: toggle removal of unnecessary tags, scripts, styles, and comments • Output presets (Standard, GitHub, Obsidian, Notion) • Light and dark mode • Japanese and English WHO IT'S FOR • Engineers and bloggers who manage technical writing in Markdown • Users of Markdown-based tools like Obsidian and Notion • Anyone who regularly edits GitHub READMEs and docs • Anyone who wants to save web articles in a format they can read and reuse later WHY HTMLtoMarkdown • Convert from pasted HTML or straight from a URL • Automatic article extraction keeps navigation and ads out of your Markdown • Conversion rules are fully adjustable, so output matches your workflow • A UI tailored to iPhone, iPad, and Mac PRIVACY The HTML, URLs, and Markdown you work with are never sent to a developer server. All conversion happens entirely on your device.
