@ReadwiseReader Did this improve scrolling on large (400+ page) PDFs also? It seemed like the app was much smoother while reading and annotating that PDF today than yesterday.

@PackagingSci We updated a bunch of core libraries as part of this so it's definitely possible! Glad to hear this 😂

@ReadwiseReader nice!

I'm trying to find where to download the desktop version, no luck though. Where is it?

@ReadwiseReader Reader mobile works fine, but Reader Web/Desktop on Windows doesn’t load the same content properly.

Google Support shows “refused to connect,” and YouTube asks me to sign in, but the sign-in button can’t be clicked inside Reader. I’m already signed in to Google/YouTube
