This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. This is a huge upgrade, adding many new features for free. Again, thank you to everyone who has emailed or tweeted with suggestions – please keep them coming! - NEW: The asset browser lets you see images, stylesheets, and copy them to your photo library or pasteboard. - NEW: The DOM browser lets you navigate through a web page's hierarchy using a collapsible tree. - NEW: See key information such as page size, character set and cookies. - NEW: When you're running within the extension, you can now write custom JavaScript to be executed when you return to Safari. - NEW: When you're using the app you can now navigate straight to previously used pages using the History screen. - NEW: Use the URL scheme viewsource:// to launch the app from another app on your device. - NEW: If you launch the app with a URL on your pasteboard, you'll now be prompted whether you want to view that URL's source code. - IMPROVED: When conducting a search, you'll now see a special search toolbar that lets you navigate between results. Again, thank you for your support! If you have requests for new features, get in touch on Twitter @twostraws.
