nice to have

Works well, though I wish you could lock it into place relative to the edges of the screen. When adjusting the slider it's all too easy to instead move the ruler. A nice-to-have-but-no-stars-removed-feature would be if it could access the offscreen buffer and perform basic edge detection which could then lock onto the object and let you measure objects larger than the viewport.

Works okay but the devs needs to make the ruler able so rotate. If they could add this feature I would even buy the app. Other wise Im pleased enough. Pleeeease add this feature!!!
