As others said, markwhen is awesome, but I'm not sure I'd use it as a standalone tool. I would definitely pay for a VSCode and Obsidian plugin to easily integrate it in existing workflows.

Is there any way to accept pledges for such plugins to gauge how many people would really pay for it, and how much?

This is neat! I've been following it for a few months.

Would my app be able to generate a Markwhen file and then embed the viewer to view it? Would that be free or paid?

The viewer is open source[0], so yeah you can embed it in an iframe (that's what the editor does), and just `postMessage` the parsed markwhen and some additional state to it. The structure of the posted data is here[1]. I'm happy to help, rob@markwhen.com or I'm in the markwhen discord[2]

Perfect, thanks!

Hm, I am trying to consolidate my toolchain these days. This is neat, but not 'I need another program running / another website in my life' neat. If you make an Obsidian plugin, I'd happily pay for that.
