## What it is
A Rust library and CLI program that exports an Obsidian vault to regular Markdown (CommonMark), converting [[note]]-style references and ![[note]] file includes. It supports gitignore-style exclude patterns and runs on all major platforms.

## Use cases
- export obsidian vault to plain markdown
- convert obsidian wiki links to standard markdown
- publish obsidian notes as commonmark files
- batch convert obsidian notes for static site generators
- exclude certain notes when exporting an obsidian vault
- use obsidian notes in other markdown tools

## When to choose
- you need to move Obsidian notes into tools that expect standard Markdown
- you want a fast, cross-platform CLI with a Rust library API
- you need gitignore-style exclusion of notes during export

## When to avoid
- you need full fidelity with every Obsidian Markdown extension
- you want a GUI-based export tool
- you need direct publishing to a hosting service

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, parser, markdown, file-system
- domain: files, developer-tools
- platform: windows, bsd, rust, cli
