## About

Obsidian is a note-taking app that works on a folder of Markdown files on your own disk. Links between notes build a graph you can navigate and query.

Because the store is just files, your notes outlive the app and can be edited by anything else.

## How the score works

The percentage is the raw share of swipes that went right, with no smoothing. Anyone can swipe without an account; each browser or account swipes a product once.
