Bring back the old docs

[tomtom87]

Please bring back one page version as a option so we do not loose this feature as we go forward e.g http://docs.meteor.com/#/basic/

I think this should be the default option, it is less userfriendly now because have to click n search cannot just do a find on page. Poor decision making who ever took that imho. One foot forward two steps backward.

+1 that’s a really great idea!

I mostly miss a searchable reference list of all the API methods as docs V1. I feel a lot of methods are now undocumented.

The current docs are a nice addition, but they are more like guides. Not very useful for reference while developing.

I love the new docs, and the navigation! Just wanted to say that. Totally love it.

I like the look of the new docs, no search capability makes it pretty useless IMO. If that were fixed great, otherwise I agree bring back the old site.

The new docs have search capability as of about 17 hours ago, but you’re probably not seeing it because either:

• You’ve loaded it recently and it’s being served entirely from your browser’s appcache – try Incognito/Private browsing for the time-being. This should be fixed soon; or
• You just missed it as it’s scrolled out of view (just off the top) when you first load the page. There’s an issue open to fix this already.

A refresh made the magic happen, thanks for the update!

not sure what’s wrong with your trashcan, but you should maybe clean your chrome profile / cache / extensions / temp folder. The stripe docs are great and even work flawless on my iPad incl browser full page search

Disabled extensions, made a new user profile in Chrome… still the same. See for yourself (Firefox on the left, Chrome on the right).

And seeing how so many devs use Chrome, I would personally try to limit how much content is on a single page.

Strange… I use chrome and I have no issues on my Macbook. Well, investigating that further is probably of diminishing returns. Especially since I don’t even need the stripe docs .

But I really like them and always prefere - be it online shopping or news articles - to have a button “load on a single page”. I really liked that on the old meteor docs. Though I wrote a quick js injection via a chrome extension to de-highjack my loved CMD + F. The guide is necessary but imo a poor replacement for an API Documentation. That was not too obvious to me during the guide preview.

But maybe I just learned about myself, that I am mostly F’ing docs… anyway…

Is there a link to the old one-page docs? I’m desperate for it, really dislike the new docs which are pretty but useless…

Same I want it too cannot find it anywhere, new page is design is useless… wish they would revert it

1.1 documentation?

You can always get to the docs for any release from a local clone of the meteor repo. For example on your local machine: git clone https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git meteor cd meteor git checkout release/METEOR@1.1.0.3 cd docs meteor Then browse to localhost:3000 as usual. You can get a list of releases from Meteor’s github page here.

The new search is blazing fast! Thanks guys!

Very clever - thanks! Now if only someone would bring back free Meteor hosting too…
