README.md is not default landing

I'm creating assignments in Teams Projects. The documentation says that a README.md file will be the "default" landing page when a student enters the repl, but this is not the case. Instead they're landing immediately on the .replit file, which is confusing and likely to cause them to immediately break the run script.

Fixed as of earlier today. Please let me know if you run into any more issues

@Sergei Chestakov: My experience is that projects will now open to README.md file, if one exists, but not in preview mode.

@broache: Same here - not sure why anyone would not want preview mode since it opens in a different pane anyway.

Hey @RaiderCS, sorry you've been running into this. We've been making changes to the default entry point for repls as well as the markdown preview functionality as you've mentioned. Thanks so much for your feedback as we continue to iterate on these features. This has since been fixed (as of today) so you and your students should be seeing the README first from now on. Please let me know if that's not the case

@Sergei Chestakov: Hey Sergei - Thanks! Looks like it's working now. Out of curiosity, especially for a README, why not open the markdown tab in preview mode already? What's the idea behind having the user flip the toggle to view something that was clearly intended to be viewed in Preview Mode anyway?

@Obaida Albaroudi: Update - not only is it not the entry page, but now it also doesn't open in preview mode, and there's no indication unless you wiggle your mouse in the upper right corner that there's any way to view it in preview mode.
