Odak 3.0 tightens the writing core: safer Markdown import/export, more reliable autosave, sturdier local storage recovery, offline-friendly bulk export, refreshed PWA cache metadata, and a cleaner local-first footprint.
Recent refinements add a more capable local writing library, keyboard-friendly popup behavior, improved mobile layouts, clearer accessible labels, shared logo assets instead of repeated inline markup, and Ctrl/Cmd + left click for opening links from the editor.
Dragged images export as normal Markdown followed by optional Odak metadata comments, so other Markdown readers can ignore the layout data while Odak can restore it:
<!-- odak:image {"x":120,"y":80,"width":240,"height":180} -->
Pull requests and feedback are always welcome. Whether it's a typo fix or a major feature idea, your input is appreciated.
