## What it is
A community-maintained Neovim plugin for working with Obsidian markdown vaults directly inside the editor. It complements the Obsidian app by bringing note management, linking, and search into Neovim, and can also stand alone.

## Use cases
- manage my obsidian vault from neovim
- take markdown notes without leaving the terminal
- create and follow wiki-style links in vim
- search and open notes in a markdown knowledge base
- replace the obsidian app with a vim workflow
- daily journaling notes in neovim

## When to choose
- you live in Neovim and want Obsidian-style markdown notes there
- you want an actively maintained fork of epwalsh/obsidian.nvim
- you want to edit an existing Obsidian vault without switching apps

## When to avoid
- you need Obsidian's graph view, mobile apps, or plugin ecosystem
- you don't use Neovim
- you want a GUI note-taking app
