README
### The baseline of your thoughts.
_From the creator of [Cupertino](https://github.com/aaaaalexis/obsidian-cupertino)_

**Explore community-made presets in [Baseline Marketplace ↗](https://aaaaalexis.github.io/obsidian-baseline/marketplace)**
## Overview
### Sleek by default. Yours by design.
**Beautiful starting point.** Clean layout, organized interface, and subtle animations make Baseline feel effortless from the first install.
**Make it yours.** With deep [Style Settings](https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-style-settings) integration, every detail is yours to shape. Colors, spacing, typography, and beyond.
**Built for mobile.** Enhanced navigation, refined menus, and comfortable spacing bring the same quality experience to every screen.
## Philosophy
### Less _and_ more.
Baseline is built on a simple belief: a great theme should work beautifully without touching a single setting, and transform completely when you're ready to explore.
- **Refined foundation**
Clean, modern, and polished from day one. Baseline sets a standard your vault can grow from.
- **Thoughtful customization**
Every option is designed with care. So no matter how far you go, Baseline always looks intentional.
- **More than a theme**
Hover sidebars, compact elements, polished interface... Baseline takes the best ideas from the community and gives them a home. More than a theme, this is a new starting point for everyone to built upon.
