Why is Markdown so popular?
Tools like Obsidian, Roam Research, and GitHub use Markdown because it is plain text. This means your notes are future-proof. You don't need proprietary software to open a .md file 20 years from now.
However, Markdown has a steep learning curve for complex formatting like Tables. The syntax involves using pipes | and dashes - to align columns perfectly. This tool abstracts that complexity, allowing you to treat Markdown tables like a spreadsheet.
