Our first acquisition: very excited to announce that @iconfactory.com has entrusted us with BitCam.app, the best 1-bit camera for iPhone.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing in the documentation currently that outlines this. This is definitely a weak spot and we’ll create one due to your suggestion, however. For now just know standard markdown is supported: Bold, Italic, URLs, dividers.
