September 2026: web first, desktop in the stores
- The homepage leads with the free web reader: one filled button to open a file, a second to paste, and the sample in the line beneath them.
- The desktop app is now a paid app for Mac and Windows, planned for the Mac App Store and the Microsoft Store. The homepage and the desktop page say coming soon until each listing is live.
- The landing page now offers a control to show its own Markdown source.
- Added a Markdown preview page that opens a document in the split view, with the source beside a live page.
