FAQ
Q) Can I read part of a page?
A) Yes, just select the text you’d like to read before clicking the bookmarklet.
Q) Where do I submit bug reports and feedback?
A) Github issues is the best, but emails to squirt.io.reader@gmail.com and tweets @squirtio work, too.
Q) I’m a publisher—can I embed Squirt on my site?
A) Absolutely! The bookmarklet will work as a normal <a> tag— you can copy this one. Feature requests on Github will encourage me to clean up the code and make it easy to customize.
