Whoa, very weird to see my plugin hit HN! Dataview was initially borne as "Notion tables for Obsidian", but quickly became a way to do flexible data annotation + querying after I realized how powerful metadata can be. Viewing your notes as "text + data that can easily be accessed" can really alter how you think about note taking and knowledge management.

There is a fair bit left to do for the plugin (export to raw Markdown, section-level metadata), but I hope you find it useful!
