Why Obsidian-Inspired?

Obsidian is a popular Markdown-based note-taking and knowledge-management app known for its smooth live preview writing experience.

Clean Markdown Live Preview brings that same idea to VS Code so you can edit technical docs, notes, and documentation in one familiar workspace.
