@MonaApp How to disable the rich text features of Mona? I frequently accidentally add rich text and don’t know how to remove it except copy-paste the text into a text editor and back. Also, it would be nice for the Rich Text dialog box (second screenshot) to […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Those of you who use the internet with a non-residential IP address (#vpn, #tor, #proxy), how do you deal with embedded #youtube videos? They won’t play because my IP looks botish, and “log in” doesn’t work with embedded videos.

@MonaApp How do i enable the vertical menu like in the previous version? There was an option to use “Mona style” or “Apple style”. I liked the old Mona style with names. I know I can enable tab names, but I don’t want the names to appear on the bottom tab bar. And those names are quite small anyway.
