However I'm quite disappointed that the application can only be used from a desktop browser and leaves mobile users especially on Opera Mini staring at a blank page. I'd be glad if Google takes the mobile user into consideration and reinstate the "view as html" link so files can again be presented in simple text. Looking forward to changes.
