  Letter paper is now supported

  yomeru now lays out your document on US Letter as well as A4. It picks the paper size that is standard where you are (Letter in the US, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines), and you can switch it any time from the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar. Printing, PDF and Word export all follow the paper you choose.

  On iPhone and iPad, tap the share icon at the top right and choose "Share / Save" to open the share sheet.

  Open .md files with a double-click

  In Chrome or Edge on a computer, install yomeru from the button in the address bar, and you can open .md files in yomeru from "Open With" when you right-click them. Make it the default app and a double-click opens them. You can save changes straight back to the file. You can still use yomeru in your browser without installing anything.

  The tab now shows the name of the open file

  While a file is open, the browser tab (or the window, if you installed yomeru as an app) is named after the file. When you have several files open in separate tabs, you can tell them apart at a glance.
