Really cool idea! In what browsers is dragging images to contenteditable supposed to be supported? I'm on Chrome 66 and it just opens the image in the current tab.

fyi, did some quick testing (I was also curious about image dragging):

Pale Moon 27.9: Image conversion to base64 worked perfectly

Dooble 1.50: creates clickable link (file:///home/user/.../filename.jpg)

Midori 0.5.11: creates NON-clickable link

Otter 0.9.09 beta 9: creates clickable link

Chromium 65.0.3325.181: opens new tab

Opera 45.0: opens new tab

Works for me in Firefox (61.0b2).
In Safari, Drag & Drop of images doesn't work but Copy/Paste does
I just tested this on my iPad 4th-gen, which is stuck at iOS 10.3 these days.

Safari cut-and-paste works for images.

Of course, as the iPad runs out of memory as I use multiple apps, stops Safari then reloads it when I come back. Which loses any edits to the content.

Expected. The unexpected is that this simple thing is as functional as it is...

Try using something like split screen to guarantee that the app will stay in memory.
(Good suggestion, but the iPad4 iOS 10.3 does not support split-screen apps.)
