We updated our desktop app (1.2.0) with better window management along with other improvements. Full list of updates:

  • Ability to open (Command/Ctrln) and close (Command/Ctrlw) multiple windows
  • Support for narrow window sizes
  • Better handling of in-app links and Command/Ctrl+click to open internal links in new windows
