Vault Explorer is an [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) plugin that leverages frontmatter properties to help you explore and organize your vault files.
The goal of Vault Explorer is to solve three main problems:
1. How to easily filter by groups of frontmatter properties and other file data.
2. How to display frontmatter properties in meaningful visual layouts.
3. How to create a social media-like experience using just your personal data.Vault Explorer is a work in progress. Please check the GitHub repository and documentation website regularly for updates.
