DevNote v0.4.0

First public release (unsigned preview).

macOS: open the .dmg, drag DevNote to /Applications.
Unsigned build — first launch: right-click → Open (or xattr -cr /Applications/DevNote.app).
Windows: NSIS installer may trigger a SmartScreen warning (unsigned).
Linux: AppImage (chmod +x DevNote_*_amd64.AppImage && ./DevNote_*_amd64.AppImage) or .deb. Works on GNOME and tiling WMs (Hyprland) — drop the bundled .desktop entry into ~/.local/share/applications/ for launchers.

Notes live in ~/devnote (macOS/Linux) / %USERPROFILE%/devnote (Windows) as plain Markdown.

v0.3.0 — attachments, mirror watch, motion

Highlights (15 commits since v0.2.0)

• Attachments: paste / drag-drop images into notes, stored under ~/devnote/.attachments/, rendered in preview (desktop; honest fallback in browsers)
• Bidirectional mirror watch: external disk changes auto-import (debounced, skips mid-sync and conflicts, never auto-commits)
• Backup: native restore picker with destructive-overwrite confirm + re-import
• Sync prefs: dedicated Sync tab, validated remote URL, conflict banner links the preserved loser note
• Motion foundations: animated dialogs/banners, press feedback, row transitions, pulsing sync dot
• Editor/list/a11y: labeled view switcher, collapsible + resizable + virtualized note list, dialog focus traps, row action menus, onboarding empty states

Verification
