Why it matters

Useful for people who want AI help while still owning ordinary markdown files: it blends drafting, editing, and optional AI polish without forcing writers or developers into a proprietary document silo.

Who should use it

writersdevelopers who live in markdownresearch note takerspeople who want local-first AI writing help

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

The editor keeps files local by default, but its AI commands can still send document content to whatever model endpoint you configure, so review that provider path before using it on sensitive notes..
