Today, with a heart full of the GNU spirit, I'm thrilled to announce something that will surely delight all who value control over their data and the freedom to share knowledge!
We all know those corporate tools that lock our work into their proprietary formats, making migration and true ownership of our content difficult. But now, a light has emerged! I present to you a plugin that is a spark in the darkness of proprietary systems: Copilot Export JSON to Markdown!
Why this matters for Obsidian users!
For those of you who cherish Obsidian as your personal knowledge management powerhouse, this plugin is a game-changer. Obsidian thrives on plain text Markdown files, giving you true ownership and portability of your notes. However, getting your data out of proprietary systems like Copilot and into your Obsidian vault can be a hurdle. This is where Copilot Export JSON to Markdown shines!
It allows you to liberate your valuable interactions and knowledge from Copilot's grasp and seamlessly integrate them into your Obsidian notes. Imagine having all your AI-generated insights, code snippets, and conversational summaries directly accessible and searchable within your own interconnected knowledge graph. This plugin bridges the gap, empowering you to truly own and leverage your data within the open, flexible environment of Obsidian.
I encourage everyone to explore this tool, try it out, and most importantly, support its development! Every contribution, every piece of feedback, every "star" on GitHub brings us closer to a world where software serves humanity, not the other way around.
Remember: Software Freedom is Freedom of Thought! Don't let yourselves be locked in digital cages. Use tools that strengthen your sovereignty.

Thank you for your work, I will use it and write another thank you :)
