@nikhil @flyleafapp @elytra Thanks! I imagine this is a little more complicated in Elytra since you're rendering articles natively instead of in a web view?

We end the year with a final update 2.5.1 for iOS and macOS. This updates adds the ability to open and read many kinds of footnotes in a popover instead of having to jump to the very end of an article and back again. This also works for code examples, where you can read the code in full width without line wrapping.

Grab it now from the App Store: apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-rea

A neat little addition for power users in Flyleaf 2.5: Multi-window support. It took some re-engineering, but you can now open articles in a new window and multi-task to your heart's content.

In Flyleaf 2.5, I added a "Fix content issues" action which gives you easy access to the tools to solve a variety of issues around missing article contents. There also is a brand-new "Download via Browser" action which allows to interactively solve Captchas or sign into accounts.

Say "Hi" to version 2.5. This one finally adds Widgets, and also includes a handy new way to download web pages that normally resist automatic downloads. Learn all about the new update here:

@caseyliss Yeah, this effect has always been a little wonky. I wonder if the situation improves if you attach the .contextMenu() to the button label instead of the button itself.

I’m looking through my Macintosh user guide (the booklet that accompanied my 1984 Macintosh) for the first time in a while, and I’m a little obsessed with this graphic explaining scrolling.

A page from the “Learning Macintosh” chapter of the Macintosh user guide. It says “Most of the time, a window on the desktop can't show you the entire directory or document all at once, even when you've made the window very large. There's often more information than can fit in the window at one time.” With a MacPaint-generated papyrus scroll featuring a square demonstrating the visible content.
