You can download the docs and use those if the website is so "atrocious" for you.

You have version 1.0 selected. I don't think kotlin.math existed then.

I didn't select it though, this is where I landed from google.

Not sure what you clicked. When I search for "kotlin.math" on google, the first result takes me to v 1.3
actually, no
The version is remembered

Yeah, they store the version in cookies or local storage..
dumb idea

so you’d rather them not remember so people working on a specific version need to select from the dropdown every time

I see nothing dumb with it at all.
And, knowing you, you would say "that's dumb" if it did not remember it...

come on guys, would this behavior fly in your professional projects?
if the doc is not available for the version i have locally stored, then at least show a warning or something

Okay, then make a constructive change request. Not "you are dumb, this is atrocious, I will make fun of you now".

I can agree it’s not great UX, but I think this is probably something of an unfortunate edge case

not something to just hop on slack and tell a whole company “get your shit together” over
“Kotlin can’t do any better” like what lmao

I have seen people mentioning the code snippets disappearing months ago. Clearly nothing has been done.

No, clearly the code snippets have not improved at all. /s

pretty aggressive responses here, doesn’t seem very welcoming for such a big community (though fair advice I think with youtrack and pr)

a) not our first exchange b) they’ve edited out the more toxic bits of their messages

a) Didn't know I make such an impact here since I post like once a month. b) I admit it. Not sure if I am a "they" though. I am glad we have these two fanboys here defending a private for-profit company 24/7. Not sure what would JetBrains do without them.

"they" is used as a gender-neutral pronoun. Yes, I admit it, I am what you could call a "fanboy". That doesn't mean I mindlessly defend everything that's being done...

Only thing I’m a fanboy of is polite, reasoned discourse.

They have YouTrack for reason. This is the first time I’ve looked at #general since I joined the Slack and with the amount of messages that come through on this channel, I wouldn’t expect anyone to do anything about complaints placed in this channel. Again, that’s exactly what YouTrack is for: professional tracking of features, bugs, and feedback. There would probably a #support or similar channel if they planned on guaranteeing a response
(Take the next message thread for example)
