Works like charm on my phone. Would be perfect if we can change the line height easily on brush menu. Sure we can change line height by editing the css, but that's not the most user friendly way for amateur.

This is absolutely useful as an alternative to the basic reader mode browsers have because it can be used anywhere and it looks very nice how it formats everything. Just the fact alone that this can be used ANYWHERE is PHENOMENAL since I don't rely on if the browser says I can use reader mode or not.
