Nice work, this looks great. I'm not a Java dev, so I can't say I'll be using this, but the design is nice and simple, and it is fast.

The pricing seems a bit steep. It isn't an exact competitor, but it reminds me of https://kapeli.com/dash which appears to be $15/year. Annoyingly dash is Mac only so poor linux devs like me can't use it, so having this be a web app is great.

Thank you for checking it out! I'm aware of Kapeli's Dash and do think it's a great piece of software. Though, Docland is great at dynamically generating documentation for libraries from source code (i.e. it could work for any software library), while Dash's strength is its ability to serve static documentation sets.
There’s a viewer for dash docsets on Linux, I think it’s called Zeal. I also use an emacs viewer for them
