Increase your file content overview while editing drastically: Isolate MarkDown elements and its subcontent like headers, bullet points, tasks, etc. from the main file into an isolation file, edit them there and then automatically or manually write the changes back to the original file!
A coworker demonstrated Logseq to me, which is different of a system in terms of note taking compared to Obsidian. Although I don't feel any need to use Logseq, because it seems rather overwhelming, I did see a neat little feature that I thought was quite practical: isolation of bullet points. I built a small version for myself and I found myself using it A LOT immediately, because it drastically increased my overview inside the files, since now all my bullet points don't have to be worked on in the same file, but can be edited in and written back from another file without much effort. To me it became an indespensable tool, so I decided to make it into a full plugin and expand it further, since there is more goal to mine.
